Gwen John (1876-1939) was a Welsh artist who worked in France for most of her career. Although in her lifetime, John's work was overshadowed by that of her brother Augustus and her mentor and lover Auguste Rodin, awareness and esteem for woman artist John's artistic contributions have grown considerably since her death.
Gwen John was born in Haverfordwest, Wales, the second of four children of Edwin William John and his wife Augusta, née Smith (1848-1884). Gwen's elder brother was Thornton John; her younger siblings were Augustus and Winifred.
