Gwen John Talking

Pearce, Brian Louis

'This book is the product of a long and thoughtful involvement with Gwen John's lifework. The author has based his sequence of poems on a knowledge of her character which he skilfully blends with an exploration of her pictures. The result is a fine example of the complementary natures of poetry and painting' - Michael Holroyd; laid in are three typed letters, signed by Brian Louis Pearce to Michael Holroyd (1995-1996), requesting and organising the passage above and a photocopy of Michael Holroyd's sending it.

Publisher: Tallis Press. First English edition 1985

Place Published: Cheddar, Somerset
Michael Holroyd's copy with his pencil notes for a puff piece for the paperback edition (1996) on the rear endpaper; very good in dustwrapper a little faded on the spine.
