WINIFRED NICHOLSON IN SCOTLAND (NAT GALLERIES SCOTLAND)

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Winifred Nicholson 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. Based on personal correspondence and the recollections of relatives, friends and painting companions, this book examines Nicholson's love for Scotland and reconsiders her Scottish paintings.
