Our co-host, Emily Carrig talks about Welsh painter Gwen John.

Born in 1876, Gwen John was overshadowed during her lifetime by her famous brother Augustus John.  Her portraits, many of anonymous female sitters, are painted in closely related tones.  Recently people have started to believe that Gwen was the better painter.  Even Augustus, despite his fame, thought that his sister was the better painter out of the two of them.
