Gwen John Paintings

Gwen John (1876 – 1939) was a Welsh painter who is most well known for her portraits of women and cats. She received formal art training at the Slade School of Art in London, one of the few art schools that taught women during that time. In 1903, John moved to France and developed her career as an artist. Even though she remained in France, her art always maintained its English roots and style. John was a romantic individual and shared a relationship with the French artist, Auguste Rodin, as well as many of her models, most of which were women.
