In a paper for an art history class, a student claims that Gwen John’s circa 1915 painting Mère Poussepin marks a significant change in John’s artistic development.

Which quotation from an art history textbook would most effectively support the student’s claim?

“Mère Poussepin has been analyzed extensively since it was first exhibited, as no two viewers seem to agree about exactly what the painting means.”

“Of all John’s paintings, none so clearly represents her abilities and ideas as Mère Poussepin.”

“The paintings that John produced before Mère Poussepin can be thought of as belonging to her earlier style, to which she never returned.”

“Although John was clearly influenced by other artists of her time, she was also an artist ahead of her time, as Mère Poussepin demonstrates.”
