Ben Nicholson
Geometric Shapes

About the Item

The idea of Ben Nicholson and his circle was to apply constructivist principles to public and private art. Especially, they were against ornaments and advocated for clean lines. Artworks were created with mathematical precision. “Geometric shapes” consist of rectangular and circular forms. The colors are a bit mutted, used to divide the pieces. The largest number of fugures crossings is in the center of the painting. Therefore, the main and the first spectators’ focus is on the content of the orange rectangle. Also, Ben Nicholson conveys multiple layering with only color transformations without pointing on the volume of objects. He analyzes the overlappings of semi-transparent tints. The artworks by Ben Nicholson are, probably, a kind of a forerunner of modern architecture. He places geometric forms in dynamic relation and influence viewers’ perception.
