Music of colour – Winifred Nicholson paintings at Kettle’s Yard

The paintings of Winifred Nicholson are the subject of the latest Artist in Focus exhibition at Kettle's Yard, which begins tomorrow and runs until December 21, 2012. The exhibition, which brings together pieces owned by Kettle's Yard, rare archive material and a number of other works, takes a close look at one of the most important artists in the Kettle's Yard collection. Winifred Nicholson's paintings are above all studies of light and colour. Visitors to Kettle's Yard house have long enjoyed Nicholson's paintings and this display gives an opportunity to rediscover them. The display will include a number of works not normally shown and archival material. Key themes, such as her theories on colour and her involvement with the European avant-garde will be explored. Winifred Nicholson's paintings capture the mood of landscapes, people and the flowers in each place and moment she painted.
