Art library for national park
An art library has been set up at the at Oriel y Parc Landscape Gallery, in St Davids, Wales.
The new library was funded entirely by donations from former painting and art theory lecturer Rod Williams, from St Davids.
Williams is the chair of the Friends of the Graham Sutherland Collection and was involved in the development of the £3.5m Oriel y Parc gallery, which includes Sutherland’s works in its rolling exhibitions.
Williams' donation includes around 200 books.
Williams said: "It’s a lifetime collection which spans my whole teaching and lecturing career and it covers the whole of art history.
"I have no serious use for the books now as I don’t intend to teach again, so they are just lying around the house idle. So I thought they might form the nucleus of a library for Oriel y Parc."
