Ben Nicholson: Paintings, Reliefs, and Drawings
Past exhibition

As two major museum exhibitions currently on show in London demonstrate, Ben Nicholson is a master of twentieth-century art. Picasso and Modern British Art at Tate shows him as a young man intoxicated by the European avant-garde, working through the issues and ideas raised by Pablo Picasso and the cubists. Whereas the exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, Mondrian and Nicholson in Parallel, shows him to be an equal if younger colleague of Piet Mondrian as Nicholson worked towards a pure abstraction that culminated in his celebrated White Reliefs. However, Nicholson’s long and successful career transcended both of these moments.
The works on display at Bernard Jacobson Gallery date from throughout Nicholson’s distinguished career and include his 1930s and 1940s geometric abstract paintings, paintings on canvas and board from the 1950s, his subsequent reliefs, and his last works in oil and felt tip.
