About
Why this artist matters now
Augustus John was a Welsh painter and draughtsman known for bold, expressionistic portraiture and figure studies executed in charcoal and oil. Active across the early-to-mid twentieth century, his work ranged from intimate character studies to large-scale murals, marked by a confident, loosely handled technique.
