Gwen John Exhibition
Davis & Langdale Company
This event has ended.
The exhibition will consist of 23 works on paper, many of which have just been released by the artist’s estate, which Davis & Langdale represents. They range in date from about 1903 to 1933 and include watercolors and drawings of women and children; several studies of cats, for which Gwen John is well known; portraits of Dorelia McNeill and the poet and critic Arthur Symons; landscapes; and still lifes.
Gwen John (1876 – 1939) is one of the foremost British artists of the twentieth century. Born in Wales, she was the sister of the also famous Augustus John. After studying at the Slade School in London, she spent her entire adult life in France.
