A vase of flowers

JOHN, Gwen

We’re working on releasing this image.

Gwen John had her own numbering system which she used to reference colours or tones that probably related to a colour wheel. Many of her works on paper have handwritten notes and numbers on them, which would act as memory aids when returning to the images back in her studio.

We have a duty of care to all our audiences. This website draws on legacy collections data. We recognise that some of this information may be outdated or discriminatory and we're currently working to review our records. If you have any questions or comments on an artwork, please contact us.
