Collection: Wilhelmina Barns-Graham   1912 - 2004  Follow artist

Wilhelmina Barns-Graham was one of Britain’s most significant 20th century modern artists. Scottish born and a prominent member of the post-war St Ives group, she was a sublime painter, draughtswoman, printmaker and a brilliant colourist. Dividing her time between studios in St Ives and St Andrews she followed a consistent artistic vision throughout her sixty-five-year career.

Barns-Graham became friends with Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson and produced an impressive body of work exploring geometrical and gestural abstraction and geological forms.
