Gwen John and Celia Paul: Painters in Parallel

About

Though separated by over 80 years, the lives and work of Gwen John (1876 —1939) and Celia Paul (b.1959) share many fascinating parallels. Both were students at the Slade School of Art and models and muses to internationally famous male artists, and each have expressed a strongly personal vision that reflects their identity as a woman artist. This exhibition includes key examples of paintings and drawings by both artists, placed side-by-side for the first time, offering a unique insight into the common experiences and themes which bridge almost eight decades of history
