"Nicholson's Scottish paintings encapsulate her concerns with
light, radiance and harmony which she expressed through flowers and
the lyricism of the natural landscape." - The Independent.
Throughout her long and varied career, Winifred Nicholson
(1893-1981) was concerned with light, colour and radiance. Best
known for her sensitive and joyful flower paintings, she married
Ben Nicholson in 1920 and their mutually influential artistic
relationship lasted, despite separation, until Winifred's death. In
the late 1940s and early 1950s, she made regular working trips to
Scotland, often accompanied by the poet, Kathleen Raine. Frequently
staying on the islands of Eigg and Canna and in Sandaig on the
mainland, Winifred felt a deep affinity with the Scottish landscape
and marvelled at the quality of light and the effects created by
the ever-changing weather conditions. Her last painting expedition
was to Eigg in 1980. Winifred Nicholson in Scotland is based on
personal correspondence and the recollections of relatives, friends
and painting companions. The book examines Winifred Nicholson's
love for Scotland and illustrates her Scottish paintings.
