A unique combination of memoir and artistic biography, interspersed
with original artworks, from the acclaimed artist and author of
SELF-PORTRAIT. We are both painters. We can connect to each other
through images, in our own unvoiced language. But I will try and
reach you with words. Through talking to you I may come alive and
begin to speak. Celia Paul has felt a lifelong connection to the
artist Gwen John. There are extraordinary parallels in their lives
and work. Both have always made art on their own terms. Both were
involved with older male artists. Both worked hard to keep
themselves and the sacred flame of their creativity from being
extinguished by others. Letters to Gwen John is Paul's imagined
correspondence with Gwen John, whose life and work have loomed so
large in hers. These intimate, passionate, haunting letters allow
Paul to reach across eras, to weigh up the sacrifices she has made,
and to explore the rich possibilities of a life apart. With
illuminating insights into the life and work of Gwen John, Letters
to Gwen John is a unique form of memoir and conversation, and an
unforgettable insight into a life devoted to making art.
