Gwen John "A Loan Exhibition of Paintings with a Selection of Works on Paper"
Davis & Langdale Company
This event has ended.
This exhibition will consist of eleven paintings by Gwen John (1876-1939); four of which once belonged to John Quinn, the celebrated early 20th century collector and patron of Gwen John. JOHN’s paintings are extremely rare, and are seldom seen.Ten of the paintings on loan belong to private collections, while one comes from The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
There will also be a selection of about twenty works on paper from every period of Gwen John’s career, most of which have just been released by her estate, which Davis & Langdale represents. Among them are gouaches and watercolors of women and children in church, where she spent countless hours sketching; and drawings of peasant children, from a stay in Brittany. There will also be cat studies, for which John is particularly well known.
