EDITORS COMMENTS
Street at Night, Meudon, 1910s Artist: Gwendolen Mary John (1876-1939) This evocative work of art, created by Welsh artist Gwendolen Mary John in the 1910s, captures the enchanting atmosphere of a quiet street in Meudon, a suburb of Hauts-de-Seine, France. The scene is set at night, with the soft glow of gas lamps illuminating the cobblestone street and casting long, dramatic shadows. John's use of watercolor and gouache over graphite on wove paper creates a rich, textured effect, with the vibrant colors of the gas lamps contrasting against the muted tones of the buildings and figures. The artist's deft touch is evident in the intricate details of the windows and the individual figures of men walking along the street. John's connection to France is evident in this painting, as she spent a significant portion of her artistic career there, living and working in Paris from 1904 until her death in 1939. The influence of French Impressionism can be seen in the loose brushstrokes and the emphasis on capturing the fleeting moment. This work of art is a testament to John's skill as a draftsman and her ability to convey the mood and atmosphere of a particular place and time. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and the National Gallery of Art in Cardiff, Wales are among the institutions that hold works by Gwendolen Mary John in their permanent collections.
