Augustus John, BOTD 1878 (died 1961). Here he is in 1909, looking like every hippy guy wanted to look in 1967, dirty feet and all.

Black & white photo of a young man (Augustus John) hunkered down with arms crossed on a piece of stone on the ground, wearing a white shirt, a big hat and sandals, smoking a pipe.

🎨 How sibling rivals #AugustusJohn and #GwenJohn tormented each other.

He was a wild, glamorous, promiscuous painter, the toast of the early C20th, whose life and #art eclipsed his sister’s.

But, after dying almost unknown, Gwen is now having the last laugh.

Jacob Epstein, Iris Beerbohn Tree (1915) + Vanessa Bell, Iris Tree (1915) + Augustus John, Miss Iris Tree (1920)

Three portraits of the same woman: Iris Tree—poet, muse and actor

#SideBySide #Art #ArtHistory #VanessaBell #AugustusJohn #JacobEpstein #Model #Portrait #IrisTree
Three distinct artistic portrayals of the same woman across different mediums and styles. On the left is a bronze sculpture bust featuring a smooth, stylized face wearing a gleaming, polished golden helmet, evoking a modern yet classical sensibility. The central panel is a painting with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid red background, depicting her seated on a patterned couch, wearing a deep black dress with a round brooch at the chest, her hands gently clasped in her lap. The rightmost panel is a more realistic oil painting, presenting the woman in a confident stance with her hand on her hip, dressed in a crisp white blouse, green cardigan, and brown skirt, her expression calm yet assertive against a muted backdrop. Together, the three works highlight different interpretations of the subject’s personality and presence through sculpture and painting.

Pleased to encounter this #AugustusJohn portrait of Richard Hughes @TenbyMuseum - author of A High Wind in Jamaica. He’s also often credited as writer of the BBC’s first radio drama - Danger (1924), though Phyllis Twigg’s The Truth about Father Christmas predates that (Dec 1922) #art #radiohistory

"The Blue Pool" (1911)
oil on panel. 52.5 x 73.1 x 6 cm
Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums, Scotland
#ArtSky #AugustusJohn #Post-Impressionist
"The Blue Pool," was created by Welsh artist Augustus John in 1911. It depicts a woman, believed to be John's muse and lifelong companion Dorothy McNeill, relaxing by the edge of a vividly colored lake. The painting is known for its vibrant hues, particularly the turquoise of the water, which is caused by light diffraction from clay particles. John used an Impressionist and Post-Impressionist style, applying paint directly to wood panels to achieve a textured effect. The scene is set at a former clay pit in Dorset, England, which has been transformed into a lake. The painting is currently held in the Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums collection.
