Frances Hodgkins: Still Life with Eggs, Tomatoes and Mushrooms

Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) is considered one of New Zealand's most important painters, although much of her working life was spent in Britain. In 1948 Myfanwy Evans published a book about her in the Penguin Modern Painters series, available here. Still Life with Eggs, Tomatoes and Mushrooms © Royal Pavilion, Libraries and Museums, Brighton & Hove/Bridgeman was painted in 1929. We were going to use it on the cover of a Classic edition of Good Things in England. Now we are almost certainly going to stick with the ten Classics rather than publish any more; but it would have made a perfect cover.
