Nicholson first exhibited this work in April 1927, in a shared exhibition with Ben Nicholson, Christopher Wood and the potter William Staite Murray at the Beaux Arts Gallery. An an onymous Times reviewer wrote of the exhibition: ‘Mrs. Nicholson is the only one of the three painters who strikes one as being perfectly ingenuous. Her introducer is right in saying that there is an April spirit in her work…In her flower paintings the escape from realism into a new reality, as lovely as that of Nature and charged with human feeling, is complete. ‘Penstemons’ making a sort of farewell gesture on a grey-shadowed wall, is perhaps the most absolute in its new existence….’ Giclée Print, Limted Edition (1/500) on 310gsm thick, 100% cotton rag.
