More about the book
Augustus John (1878-1961) was one of the best-known and most colorful British artists of his generation, while his sister Gwen (1876-1939) led a reclusive life studying under Whistler in Paris. Since the 1960s, Gwen John's intense studies of female nudes and portraits have made her a feminist icon, and Augustus's work has fallen from fashion. This book, with more than 100 color illustrations, examines the sibling artists side by side for the first time. AUTHOR David Fraser Jenkins is a senior curator and Chris Stephens is a curator at Tate.
