About
Though largely forgotten today, Gladys Hynes (1888-1958) was a pioneering artist whose life and work reflect the radical, turbulent and often contradictory currents of the first half of the twentieth century. Hynes was not only a gifted painter, sculptor, illustrator and designer, but also a radical pacifist, feminist, suffragist and Irish Republican.
Over five decades, she produced an exceptional body of work that engaged with the key movements of her time, from the Omega Workshops to Vorticism. Hynes moved in an extraordinary circle of creative, intellectual and political figures, including artists Nina Hamnett, Laura Knight, Gluck and Dod Procter, and political figures Desmond FitzGerald, Mabel FitzGerald and Jack White. Her closest friendship was with the avant-garde poet Ezra Pound, whose Cantos she illustrated.
Join Sasha Llewellyn, author of 'Gladys Hynes: Radical Lives', to explore this remarkable life and to reconsider her place within the modernist canon.
