The artist Gwen John (18761939) led an exceptionally private life, dedicated to her painting, and died in relative obscurity, but since her death she has become an icon of women's art. Her writings, however, have never before been made public. This selection of letters and extracts from her notebooks, illustrated by photographs and sketches, is drawn from the artist's personal archive and provides an invaluable insight into the life and inspiration of one of the most intriguing figures in 20thcentury art.John did not write for publication, but writing, whether for herself or to friends and relatives, was an important medium of expression for her. Here she considers her own role as an artist, records visual impressions, and analyzes her own techniques and procedures. Her highly individual writing style and the range of emotions she displays, from great intensity to flashes of wicked humor, bring into view the unique character behind the painting. AUTHOR BIO: Ceridwen LloydMorgan is head of manuscripts at the National Library of Wales.
