› Find signed collectible books: 'Ben Nicholson'
Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was one of the finest British artists of the twentieth century. This monograph pays tribute to the artist on the centenary of his birth. Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century, who first came to international prominence with his famous "white reliefs" of the 1930s. A pioneer of abstract art in Britain, he played a significant role in the European avant-garde, forming close links with Picasso, Braque, Mondrian and others. At the same time he had a strong sense of tradition, maintaining a lifelong attachment to landscape and still-life forms. This book presents a portrait of this complex and single-minded artist, who refused to be pinned down by labels. Within a broadly chronological framework, it focuses on individual works, analysing their content as well as their appearance, and showing how the artist transformed and transcended the influences he absorbed.

The author aims to help the reader form a relaxed and sympathetic relationship to art, while providing information and biographical details about some 200 artists. The illustrations, taken from many sources, are fully integrated with the text in order to provide easy reference and consultation.
