Timeline

1903

Works from this period are in the Tate, the New Hall Art Collection and the National Portrait Gallery; they have been compared to those of other artist-designers such as Edward Bawden (1903–89) and Eric Ravilious (1903–42).

1908

EQ Nicholson (4 November 1908 – 7 September 1992) was a British painter and textile designer.

Elsie Queen Myers was born in London on 4 November 1908, the daughter of the novelist Leo Myers and his American-born wife Elsie Mellen Palmer; her sister Eveleen was born in 1910.

Her paternal grandparents were the writer Frederic W. H. Myers and the photographer Eveleen Tennant; her maternal grandfather was General William Jackson Palmer of Delaware, from whose wife Mary "Queen" Palmer, née Mellen, she received her second name.

Her father frequented writers and artists including members of the Bloomsbury Group, the sculptor Frank Dobson and the painter Cedric Morris.

1910

She had one show, with Peter Rose Pulham (1910–56) and Keith Vaughan (1912–77), at the Hanover Gallery in 1950.

1926

She studied batik in Paris in 1926 and later worked as an assistant to Marion Dorn.

She also designed rugs.

When she was twenty she designed the interior of the new family home at Leckhampton House.

After her marriage, she worked in Nicholson's Modernist architecture practice, where his student and protégé Hugh Casson and his wife Margaret also worked.

1931

In 1931, EQ married the architect Christopher "Kit" Nicholson, youngest son of the painters William Nicholson and Mabel Pryde, and brother to Ben Nicholson and Nancy Nicholson.

1936

EQ designed the interiors of Nicholson's building for the London Gliding Club at Dunstable in 1936.

From about 1936 until 1950, EQ worked with her sister-in-law Nancy Nicholson, who had already printed textile designs both for her brother Ben Nicholson and for his wife Barbara Hepworth at her Poulk Press.

EQ's designs from this time include Black Goose (1936), Daisy and Seaweed (1949).

Some of these designs were later screen-printed by Edinburgh Weavers.

1941

During the Second World War EQ and her children lived at first at Yew Cottage on Cranborne Chase in Dorset, and then, from 1941 until 1947, at Alderholt Mill House, near Fordingbridge in Hampshire.

For a period of only about fifteen years from about 1941, EQ worked intensely as a painter, in gouache, crayon and collage, in a style that owes something to Georges Braque, whom she greatly admired.

1944

Leo Myers committed suicide on 7 April 1944 by taking an overdose of Veronal.

1948

Kit Nicholson died of injuries following a glider crash in Italy on 28 July 1948.

1950

One of her best-known designs is Runner Bean, which dates from about 1950, and was used in Hugh Casson's furnishing of the Royal Yacht and for hand-printed wallpapers by Cole & Son.

The archive of the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, includes a collection of EQ's drawings and textiles.

Some of her designs are still being commercially produced.
