0:02:30 > 0:02:35- By her death in 1997, - Vera Bassett was world famous.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Her work had been exhibited in the - important sites of the art world...
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- ..and it was literally - all the result of an accident.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- It all started after she was injured - after falling from a bus.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- She spent two years on her back.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- In that time, - her father gave her a box of paints.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- This was the trigger for her - to take up painting seriously.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- She painted until the very end - and was incredibly successful.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01- She had an international stage - and the art critics loved her.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- We have an example of an early piece - at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23- Yes, art critics saw this and - recognized her natural-born talent.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- She was as good as the great artists - such as Gwen John and Augustus John.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- Mervyn Levy - was a huge fan of her work.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- He referred to her - as being a true artist...
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- ..or "a rare - and endearing artist"...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- ..which is the title - of the book about her.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- Don is from Pontarddulais so eager - to promote the work of Vera Bassett.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Life and the role of the woman in - that town is integral to her work.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09- There's a pencil sketch with a wash - that is characteristic of her work.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16- There are two women and one - is carrying a child in her arms...
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- ..with another holding her hand.
0:05:21 > 0:05:27- The other woman is overburdened with - two, large, heavy shopping bags.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- Vera is underlining the role - of the woman as she saw it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Women did the work - and did the caring.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- Women also got a chance to natter - in the cafe society she depicted.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- Vera spoke of her visits to a cafe - to do some people-watching.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- She would leave empty cafes as - there was nothing to interest her.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- This could explain her popularity - amongst the French...

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- You see the series of people - in various situations.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23- She had a great talent and it's high - time for the public to see that...
