A vase of flowers
Artist: JOHN, Gwen (1876 - 1939
Gwen John attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London between 1895 and 1898, and studied briefly in Paris. In 1903, she accompanied Dorelia McNeill on a walking tour through France. By the beginning of 1904, she had settled in Paris.
Bu Gwen John yn mynychu Ysgol Gelfyddyd Gain y Slade yn Llundain rhwng 1895 a 1898, a bu'n astudio am gyfnod byr ym Mharis. Ym 1903, aeth gyda Dorelia McNeill ar daith gerdded trwy Ffrainc. Erbyn dechrau 1904, roedd wedi ymsefydlu ym Mharis.)
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.
