	GWEN JOHN
		Augustus John, her extrovert younger brother, a prodigious talent in the world of painting and portraiture, remarked that his sister brought nothing for herself and yet had managed to see to it that her cats would be fed and cared for while she was away.
		Gwen John was born in Wales in 1876, the second oldest in a family of four children.
		Gwen was also deft in drawing but she skirted the shadow of her younger brother, giving an early indication of her intention to develop a style uniquely her own.

		Gwen John was born in 1876 in Haverfordwest, where her father was a respectable solicitor, but the family moved to Tenby following the mother’s premature death in 1884, which was a great loss to Gwen John.
		Gwen could not bear the effect this relationship was having on her sister-in-law, so she packed her bags and marched Dorelia off to the continent: they intended to walk to Rome, paying their way by painting.
		For Gwen John painting was an act of faith, a form of worship, and that was her explanation and justification when she was chided by a neighbour for sketching in the church during mass.

		GWEN IFILL: How does this stand right now, in some states like in Iowa and Minnesota, they are literally picking names out of a crystal ball between you and Pat Buchanan to decide who is the nominee.
		JOHN HAGELIN: Certainly I'm in favor of vouchers by increasing competition in a system where there is none, particularly for children in proven failures in chronically under-performing schools.

		The artist Gwen John (1876-1939), known for her intense figure studies, portraits and interiors, was one of the most enigmatic and intriguing figures in the history of twentieth century art.
		After training at the Slade and at Whistler's Academy in Paris, John settled in Paris in 1905, where she modelled for Rodin, subsequently becoming his lover In 1915 she converted to Catholicism, withdrawing to the suburban village of Meudon, where she remained until her death.
		The letters she sent to friends and the notebooks in which she explored her artistic ideas and recorded visual impressions, often combining notes and sketches on the same page, were an important medium of expression for her.

		The painter Gwen John became Auguste Rodin's lover in the summer of 1904, when Rodin was 63.
		Perhaps the mysterious Gwen, painting her contemplative and inward women, writing her letters to Rodin, surely not in the hope of replies but in some way to fulfil her own purposes, has something to tell other creative women who become mistresses of an artist.
		To the outsider, Gwen John's obsessive passion for Rodin must have looked embarrassing and useless, bringing her only grief; but the artist in her knew exactly what she was doing.

		The words were the first Sir John had spoken since before this madness began—in fact, the first since he had spoken to Maleva herself, in the forest earlier that night.
		He watched Gwen sink into the desk chair opposite his own, her face pale and drawn; he watched Andrews pace the rug, hands shifting restlessly.
		Some whispered that Sir John’s passing was the final blow of a tragic curse which had befallen the Talbot family.

		In Gwen John's case, however, it was not so much her brother but her brother's reputation and legends that submerged her own artistic achievements.
		In this biography Sue Roe argues that Gwen John has always been a mysterious and shadowy figure within the history of British painting, obscured by the fame and energy of her famous brother.
		Far from being a recluse hidden away in Paris and a dispirited failure, Gwen John was one of Rodin's lovers and a part of the art world of Paris.

		Gwen and Augustus escaped an unhappy childhood in remote Pembrokeshire to study together at the Slade School of Fine Art in London.
		Gwen benefited; she was free to develop skills denied to her female contemporaries at more conservative art schools.
		With her famed interior paintings shown here, Gwen later dispensed with the human portrait for a while, leaving a series of simply furnished abandoned rooms which often hint at a human presence, using props like an open book or newspaper.

	Alexandra Lavizzari - Gwen John - Perlentaucher.de, Kultur und Literatur Online
		Ähnlich Camille Claudel zwei Jahrzehnte zuvor, gerät Gwen John in der Zeit, in der sie Rodin für die nie vollendete 'Muse a Whistler' Modell steht, in eine demütigende, emotionale Abhängigkeit vom Bildhauer, die sich lähmend auf ihre Künstlerkarriere auswirkt.
		Es ist der walisischen Künstlerin Gwen John (1876 - 1939) gewidmet, die ähnlich wie Camille Claudel jahrelang in einem demütigenden Abhängigkeitsverhältnis zum Bildhauer Auguste Rodin stand, sich aber anders als diese irgendwann lösen konnte.
		Johns Wahrnehmung und Lavizzaris Schilderung der Krisenjahre wirke dadurch zunächst völlig überspannt, meint Birrer, aber auf den zweiten Blick bewirke dieses Verfahren, dass man Johns Sichtwiese der Beziehung und der Welt "geradezu fühlbar" nachvollziehen könne.

	70 Gwen Party : John Peel Sessions - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The importance and reach of John Peel's show and in-house sessions at the BBC on British music can barely be described without superlatives, but even in the more obscure areas of his work he's had a notable impact.
		One way was in the hosting of a band like 70 Gwen Party on his show not once but four times, a collection of appearances gathered on one disc along with a couple of studio rarities for good measure.
		N'Dip's always impassioned liner notes regarding freedom from corporate and governmental control here reflect on the importance of public broadcasting as a general concept, and it's little surprise that he's thankful for Peel's work, very much in the voice of a fan who grew up on earlier versions of such sessions from others.

		In 1942, at the height of his fame, Augustus John predicted that 'fifty years from now I shall be known as the brother of Gwen John'.
		Gwen John (1876-1939) is indeed now recognised as a great artistic innovator, yet for years her life remained shrouded in the myth of the solitary recluse.
		Based on her lively and passionate unpublished letters and lavishly illustrated, this vivid new biography challenges our prejudices about the ways we evaluate women artists and finally uncovers the life of this ardent and complicated personality, one of the finest artists of her day.
