  • Gwen John: Strange Beauties

    Jul 30 to Nov 28, 2027
    Gwen John: Strange Beauties is the artist’s first major retrospective in more than 40 years, revealing new perspectives into her work. In bringing together John’s celebrated oil paintings with rarely seen drawings and watercolors, this exhibition illuminates her working practices, artistic breadth, and enduring legacy.
    Against a loosely painted purple-pink background, a girl with light skin tone and long light-brown hair stands with her hands clasped, looking directly out at the viewer.
