An exquisite draftsman and a wonderful colourist, John's attitude to modern art was ambivalent. He admired Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gaugin, and the oil panels he exhibited at the Chenil Gallery, Chelsea, in 1910, were hated by traditionalists. Nevertheless, John declined to be included in the Second Post Impressionist Exhibition at London in 1912-13, though he was represented in the much broader New York Armory Show in 1913. Several works were also included in 'An Exhibition of Works by Certain Modern Artists of Welsh Birth or Extraction', organised by the National Museum of Wales in 1913-14.
Work was part of the AFA tour (2009-2010): From Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales
