Description
Yn Wales As Is, mae’r ffotograffydd Magnum, David Hurn, yn cyflwyno daearyddiaeth, topograffeg, hanes a thirwedd Cymru gyda chlirder di-sentiment. Ynghyd â thraethawd cysylltiedig Richard King, mae’r casgliad newydd hwn o waith yn cwestiynu’n ysgafn duedd Cymru at hunan-fytholeg a rhamantiaeth, gan archwilio safle’r dirwedd a’i delfrydiaeth o fewn cysyniad Cymru ohoni ei hun.In Wales As Is, Magnum photographer David Hurn presents the geography, topography, history and landscape of Wales with unsentimental clarity. Together with Richard King’s accompanying essay, this new collection of work gently interrogates Wales’s propensity for self-mythology and romanticism, examining the position of the landscape and its idealisation within Wales’s conception of itself.
