Art in Focus is an academic initiative for members of the Yale Center for British Art Student Guide Program, through which students are introduced to every aspect of exhibition practice. Students intensify their engagement with the Center’s collections, strengthen their research skills, and test writing in new formats. Student curators select objects for exhibition, write text panels and object labels, and make decisions about installation. — —
The curatorial challenge for the 2007–08 student guides was to design an exhibition showcasing highlights from the Center’s collection of late nineteenth- through twenty-first-century paintings and sculpture. The Victorian to Modern collection usually mounted on the second floor was consolidated on the fourth floor, in two bays of the Long Gallery, to accommodate the Center’s special exhibitions Pearls to Pyramids and A New World. — —
Figuring Women: The Female in Modern British Art focused on representations of women from the Victorian era to the present day. Student guides used a variety of paintings and sculpture to explore how artists, including Walter Sickert, Vanessa Bell, Harold Gilman, Henry Moore, and Barbara Hepworth, have interpreted the female form. — —
Credits — —
The student curators of the exhibition were Jenny Elizabeth Braun (DC ’08), Jessica Dilworth (BK ’10), Panda Ebling (DC ’08), Charles Gariepy (TD ’09), Andrew Lee (BR ’09), Sharon Madanes (DC ’08), and Adrienne Wong (MC ’10), working under the direction of Cassandra Albinson, Associate Curator of Paintings and Sculpture, and Linda Friedlaender, Curator of Education

Gwen John trained at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1895 to 1898, a school noted for its progressive teaching and acceptance of female students. She moved to Paris in 1903, where she remained for the rest of her life. A reserved but tenacious personality, she formed few but intense relationships, including with the poet Rainer Rilke and sculptor Auguste Rodin, for whom she served as the model for his unfinished monument to Whistler. She converted to Catholicism in 1913 during a time of intense anticlericalism from France’s Third Republic. Portraits of nuns featured regularly in her studies of the life in and around the convent of the Dominican Sisters of Charity in Meudon, the suburb of Paris where she lived.\n\n

Gwen John became a Roman Catholic in 1913, two years after she moved into lodgings above a house in the rue Terre Neuve in Meudon, about twelve miles outside Paris. She had initially admired the habits worn by the Sisters of Charity, who ran a local orphanage, and undertook to paint for the Mother Superior a posthumous portrait of the foundress of the order, Mère Poussepin, based on an image on the back of a prayer card. Not surprisingly, she found the task difficult. Nevertheless, the episode is important because subsequently it seems that Gwen John continued to be interested not so much in creating portraits of individual nuns, but in evoking something of the condition, the asceticism, and remoteness of religious life. She engaged professional artists' models to pose for her nun pictures, probably because the sisters were either unwilling or not allowed to sit for portraits.
