Unknown Colours by Winifred Nicholson

Unknown Colours, Paintings, Letters, Writings by Winifred Nicholson.

Edited by Andrew Nicholson, First published in 1987 by Faber and Faber Limited. 

Unknown Colour brings together all of Winifred Nicholson's writings for the first time and reproduces the colour and the wide range of her paintings, conveying in words and images the essence of her art, which is light, colour and radiance. 

Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981) was a British painter fixated on colour and its special power and properties, how we perceive and interpret it in life and art, its parallels with music, and much more. 

Sadly, like many women of her era, the work of her husband, Ben Nicholson, is more well known.
