EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs C R W Nevinson, formerly known as Kathleen Mary Knowlman, is depicted in this striking portrait, captured during a pivotal moment in both her personal and historical narrative. The year is 1918, and her husband, renowned British artist Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, was holding an exhibition of his war paintings at the prestigious Leicester Galleries in Leicester Square. As the wife of an official war artist, Kathleen's life had been inextricably linked to the turbulent events of the First World War. Her husband's powerful and evocative depictions of the conflict brought the raw realities of the battlefield into the heart of London society. Yet amidst the chaos and carnage, Kathleen stood by her husband's side, offering unwavering support and inspiration. This portrait, featured in The Sketch at the time of the exhibition, captures Kathleen's strength and resilience. Her intense gaze and determined expression suggest a woman who has faced adversity and emerged stronger for it. The elegant yet understated fashion of the time serves to underscore the contrast between the tranquility of her domestic setting and the chaos of the war that raged beyond its borders. As a woman of society, Kathleen's presence at her husband's exhibition was a testament to the vital role that women played in the arts and cultural scene during this period. Her portrait stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and endurance of the women who stood by their artists, soldiers, and loved ones during the darkest days of the First World War.
