Artists, Siblings, Visionaries : The Lives And Loves of Gwen And Augustus John – Judith Mackrell

Description

They seemed to be polar opposites . . .

Augustus: vivid, volatile and promiscuous. He was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation.

Gwen’s art was magnificent, but she was also more reserved, and as a woman she struggled for the recognition which has only come to her now, years after her death.
