Anne Price Owen – David Jones: the Wedding of Form and Content

Feb. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Anne Price Owen discusses the work of David Jones at Art for Lunch on Friday, 12 February at 1pm.

Dr. Anne Price-Owen is senior lecturer in the Dynevor Centre of Art, Design and Media, Swansea Metropolitan University.

She joined this institution in 1995, and publishes extensively on the visual arts and literature, especially the poetry of Welsh poets. Her primary interest is the painter-poet David Jones (1895-1974), and she founded The David Jones Society in 1996, a year after his Centenary conference at University of Wales, Lampeter.

Her talk will examine the interrelationship of David Jones’s literary and visual arts, a phenomenon that she believes is particularly prevalent (but by no means unique), in the work of both poets and visual artists working in Wales.

She is currently researching a book on Wales’s Women Artists, due from Seren later this year.  

£5 entry includes 45 minute talk, plus soup and a sandwich. Please contact the Dylan Thomas Centre on 01792 463980 for more information and tickets.
