God's Little Artist

Poet and art critic Sue Hubbard animates the singular life of Gwen John whose artwork is currently celebrated in an exhibition touring the UK.

God’s Little Artist is a biography in verse of Welsh painter Gwen John (1876 – 1939). As with many female painters of the time, John’s work was often overshadowed by that of her male contemporaries, especially her brother Augustus John. God’s Little Artist is a celebration of her passionate life and work, illustrated with precision, authenticity and the keen painterly eye of the poet, novelist and art critic Sue Hubbard.
