'Red Garden : 1956' is among the earliest known prints by Patrick Heron and reflects a critical moment of change in his work. It is thought to have been made in Paris, under the supervision of Robert Erskine of St George’s Gallery Prints.

In 1956 Heron began to make what appeared to be non-representational paintings, in defiance of his earlier advocacy of representation. In the same year, he settled in his new home, Eagles Nest, Zennor, above the coast of west Cornwall. The two events converged as the paintings of that year were, despite their abstract appearance, associated with the garden there.
