	The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: Gwen John and Augustus John at Tate Britain
		The exhibition at the Tate Britain of the works of the sister and brother Gwen John and Augustus John provides a rewarding experience for the visitor but it is curious that Gwen John is there at all, let alone be the first named artist in the title.
		She is but an appendage to her better-known brother Augustus John, O.M., R.A. Indeed one suspects that if she had been his brother rather than his sister she would not be in the exhibition at all.
		It is Augustus John's portraits of notables that may be of greatest interest to the visitor, from the early ones of W.B. Yeats, Wyndham Lewis and William Nicholson to the later paintings of the blue-eyed T.E. Lawrence and the sombre Montague Norman, Governor of the Bank of England.
