'In the infinite variety of temperament, vision, technique, achievement, despair and triumph recorded in the long history of art, Sir William Russell Flint takes a unique place…He was the greatest master technically of the elusive water-colour method of art – considering the quantity of his work, its versatility of subject, enchanting colour, sense of beauty and graceful idealism.’ Adrian Bury, Sir William Russell Flint 1880-1969, 1980, p.11
