Indepth Arts News: "Winifred Nicholson" 2001-10-06 until 2001-11-17 Sheffield Galleries and Museum Trust, Graves Art Gallery Sheffield, , UK United Kingdom
The exhibition includes paintings which illustrate the whole of Nicholsons
career, from early landscapes to later explorations of prismatic colour.
Her subjects are landscapes, flowers, still lifes and figures, but above all
they are paintings of colour and light. Although best known for her
delightful flower paintings produced in Cornwall and the South of France,
Nicholson continued to develop as an artist.
Her later work demonstrates an
interest in the independence of colour from form, and the way in which
particular colours can manipulate movement within a painting.
Winifred Nicholson was born in Oxford in 1893 and studied at the Byam School
of Art. In 1920 she married the painter Ben Nicholson and worked with him
in Switzerland and Cumberland, also often visiting London and Paris.
