Nicholson, (Rose) Winifred (1893–1981)

English painter. Initially employing a figurative style, she began to experiment with abstraction after 1931. She worked in Paris, Lugano, India, and Scottish Hebrides, before moving to Cumbria, and becoming a member of the Seven and Five Society (1925–35). From 1935 to 1945 she exhibited under her mother's surname of Dacre.

Nicholson was born in Oxford, and attended the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. She married the artist Ben Nicholson in 1920, but they separated in 1931.
