Gwen John - Self Portrait (1902)

Gwen John was a Welsh artists whose legacy mostly consists of portraits of anonymous female sitters. During her lifetime she was overshadowed by her bother Augustus, however, today it seems that his prophecy that “in 50 years I will be known as Gwen John’s brother” has come true since most contemporary art critics see her as the more talented of the two.

At 27 she permanently moved Paris since it was easier there for young women to make a living. She lived a fairly solitary life with her cats, devoted most of her time to painting and had several passionate love affairs with men and women. She created several thousand art works that have been praised for their atmosphere of serenity and a reduced colour palette, and are presented in major contemporary collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Tate Gallery.

I’m thankful for all the different ways I can eat potatoes

Ursula K. Le Guin, Dancing at the Edge of the World: Thoughts on Words, Women, Places

You can be angry about things but still make the conscious decision not to be cruel. When we remind each other to be kind, we’re not saying don’t be mad. There’s a lot of stuff to be mad about right now. But you can still be a kind and patient person. You don’t have to be mean to other people. You can choose.
