- Book Synopsis
- Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction An insightful dual biography of brother and sister artists Gwen and Augustus John. 'Outstanding' - The Guardian 'Superb' - The Telegraph 'A must read' - Anne Sebba 'Lively' - The Times They seemed to be polar opposites . . . Augustus: vivid, volatile and promiscuous. He was a hero among romantics and bohemians, celebrated as one of the great British talents of his generation. Gwen's art was magnificent, but she was also more reserved, and as a woman she struggled for the recognition which has only come to her now, years after her death. Artists, Siblings, Visionaries by Judith Mackrell is a riveting story of love, infidelity, betrayal, and of two extraordinary siblings whose art and lives subverted society's expectations.
