[EAN: 9781854375254], Nieuw boek, [SC: 45.8], [PU: Tate Publishing, London], Hardcover. Previously only short quotations from these writings have been published. Scribbled notes were often the starting points for her visual work, and in her mature years, notes and sketches frequently coexist on the page. Sometimes using the framework of a draft letter, sometimes simply jotting down significant points or phrases, Gwen John considers her own role as an artist, records visual impressions and analyses her own technique and procedures. Letters reveal her painterly eye through descriptions of her room or the view from her window. Her highly individual writing style and the range of emotions she displays, from great intensity to flashes of wicked humour, bring into view the unique character behind the paintings. A unique and fascinating resource for all those interested in the life and work of this fascinating artist and in the creative process itself. Previously only short quotations from these writings have been published. Scribbled notes were often the starting points for her visual work, and in her mature years, notes and sketches frequently coexist on the page.
