JULY’S BEST ART SHOWS

EXHIBITIONS

Winifred Nicholson in

Cumberland

8 July to 15 October

The English artist Winifred Nicholson painted

prolifically in her lifetime, producing

impressionistic flowers and rolling landscapes

in a distinctive style. In the 1920s, she

married the artist Ben Nicholson. The two

worked side by side, painting in Italy, France,

Devon and Cornwall, occasionally exhibiting

together. Winifred became a respected figure

in modern British art, creating works that

explored new ideas about colour.

This exhibition, curated by art historian

Jovan Nicholson (no relation) explores her

work through the paintings made in Cumbria,

as well as later prismatic works of the 1960s

and 1970s.

Abbot Hall Gallery, Cumbria.
