I would have loved to have seen that exhibition but it just didn’t work out. A friend had been and recommended it and it was because of that I ended up reading the book.
I first learnt to love Gwen John's work when we lived in Cardiff in the 1980's and 90's. Money was very short, so spending time for free in the wonderful National Museum of Wales which has some marvellous collections including a lot of work by Gwen John, introduced me to many artists - and brightened long rainy days. If ever in Cardiff its art galleries are well worth a visit There is a lovely painting called (from memory) Little Interior? It has a grey, misty quality.
That is worth knowing Jane. My maternal grandmother was born in Cardiff so I would like to visit one day. Although I have been to Tredegar where she grew up, I’ve never been to Cardiff.
I wasn't aware of Gwen John until i saw the Pallant Gallery in Chichester exhibition last year - quietly beautiful paintings
