In Artists, Siblings, Visionaries, acclaimed biographer Judith Mackrell tells the stories of brother and sister artists Gwen and Augustus John.
As siblings, they could hardly have seemed more unalike. Augustus was in every way the larger of the two; vivid, volatile, and promiscuous, he was a hero among romantics and bohemians. And, until his drinking began to undermine his work, he was celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation.
Gwen's place in the art world was much smaller. As a woman, it was always going to be harder for her to succeed, yet her very private way of working and her reserved nature meant it was only many years after her death that her own tremendous gifts were fully acknowledged. Hardcover, 448 pages.
