内容简介

一本关于格温-约翰的批判性图文传记，生动地描绘了她的生活、工作和关系，与帕兰特宫画廊联合出版。

格温-约翰是20世纪初至中期重要的英国艺术家之一，活跃在巴黎和伦敦，并在1913年纽约极具影响力的先锋派军械库展览中亮相。这部关于一位深受喜爱的艺术家的持续的批评性传记打破了隐居者的神话，将她牢牢地定位在伦敦和巴黎的艺术世界中，她选择在那里生活和工作。

本书由备受赞誉的艺术史学家和艺术家权威艾丽西亚-福斯特撰写，以原创性研究为基础，探讨了约翰在二十世纪艺术背景下的重要性。在追踪她作品的发展及其意义的同时，该传记还探讨了约翰的个人和艺术关系，包括她与莱纳-玛丽亚-里尔克的友谊以及她与雕塑家奥古斯特-罗丹的浪漫。

出生于威尔士的约翰在十九世纪后半期在伦敦度过，然后搬到巴黎，在那里度过了她的余生。她是保罗-塞尚、玛丽-劳伦森、保拉-莫德森-贝克尔和爱德华-维雅的当代人。本书将这两个迷人的城市和约翰的生活环境展现在读者面前，并向读者介绍那些鲜为人知的艺术家，他们的生活和作品已经陷入了沉寂。本书既是对一位重要性和知名度不断提高的艺术家的研究，也是对20世纪初欧洲艺术界的研究，它为任何对艺术史上一位关键人物的生活和工作感兴趣的人提供了一幅引人注目的肖像。

The first critical, illustrated biography of Gwen John, painting a vivid portrait of her life, work, and relationships, published in association with Pallant House Gallery.

Gwen John was one of the most significant British artists of the earlyto mid-twentieth century, active in Paris and London, and featured inthe highly influential avant-garde Armory Show in New York in 1913. Demolishing the myth of the recluse, this sustained critical biography of a much-loved artist locates her firmly in the art worlds of London and Paris, where she chose to live and work.

Written by Alicia Foster, a critically praised art historian and authority on the artist, Gwen John is based on original research, and examines John’s importance in the context of twentieth-century art. While tracing the development of her work and its significance, the biography also explores John’s relationships both personal and artistic, including her friendship with Rainer Maria Rilke and her romance with sculptor Auguste Rodin.

John, who was born in Wales, spent the latter part of the nineteenth century in London and then moved to Paris where she remained for the rest of her life. She was a contemporary of Paul Cézanne, Marie Laurencin, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Edouard Vuillard. The book brings these two fascinating cities and John’s milieu to life and introduces readers to lesser-known artists whose lives and works have slipped into obscurity. Both a study of an artist whose importance and recognition continues to grow, and of the artistic world of Europe in the early twentieth century, this book provides a compelling portrait for anyone interested in the life and work of a key figure in the history of art.
