'St Peter's Church and Wellington' (2nd of 2)

'St Peter's Church and Wellington'

Evelyn Page worked in an expressionist style, where colour was used to express emotion as well as movement. The dynamic forms and vivid palette in her 1954 painting 'St Peter’s Church and Wellington' convey a positive view of the city.
