Gwilym Prichard was one of the most admired and successful painters of the Welsh landscape. After the death of Sir Kyffin Williams in 2006, he was considered to be the senior figure in Welsh landscape painting. His preferred medium was oils and he was noted for using a colourful palette and generous application of paint. It has been said that he “painted the bones neath the land.” His life, like his art, was full and colourful.
Pritchard studied at Normal College, Bangor, and the College of Art in Birmingham.
In 1954 he married the artist Claudia Williams, and began a romantic and creative partnership that spanned seven decades, and was the subject of several radio and television documentaries.
Although he always painted, Prichard also worked as a teacher in his early years. He gained a national reputation in the early 1960s, and was able to be an artist full-time from then onwards. In the 1980s Prichard and Williams took a three-month road trip that ended up taking seventeen years, mostly living and working from Rocheforte-en-Terre in Brittany, and returning to Wales in 2001. They moved house regularly, but eventually settled in Tenby, west Wales, where Prichard died in 2015, aged 84.
Pritchard’s work invigorated British landscape painting through his particular brand of observation and understanding. He said that he painted the land and farms and sea and sky because they shaped his life. He described his approach as emotional rather than analytical.
Pritchard had been a Fellow of Bangor University and a Member of the Royal Cambrian Academy. He had many awards, including the Silver Medal from the Academy of Arts, Science and Letters in Paris in 1995.
Pritchard took part in numerous national and international exhibitions, both solo and joint with his wife. Today the work of Gwilym Prichard is held in many prestigious public collections and is highly collectable.

This original oil on canvas board painting by Welsh artist Gwilym Prichard carries his monogram in the lower left corner and was painted in 2011. It depicts three pairs, two standing up and the other in the centre lying with its stalk facing downwards. The pairs are a pale green colour, with flecks of orange and warm browns of their rounded bottoms, indicating that they are ripe and ready to eat. From their shape they may well be conference pears. The pears are set against a background of black, with a sage green top colour. The application of paint by palette knife is generous and the overall impression is of a simple subject, expertly captured in a bold and striking form.
