Art Exhibition – 11 – Edinburgh
Wednesday 18th November 11:00 Gwen John: Strange Beauties – Modern Two Strange Beauties, at Modern Two, 3 Belford Road, Edinburgh, EH4 3DR, is the first major retrospective in over forty years dedicated to Welsh painter Gwen John (1876—1939). One of the first generation of women to receive a formal art education, John studied at the Slade School of Art in London, before settling in Paris. The exhibition showcases celebrated oil paintings and rarely seen drawings, ranging from her early years in Wales, through to experimental late works inspired by John’s religious beliefs, French modernism, and her surroundings in the Parisian suburb of Meudon. Marking one hundred and fifty years since the artist’s birth, Strange Beauties offers a fresh new perspective on Gwen John’s work and artistic legacy. Meet in the foyer.
