About the Item

Circa 1982 lithograph after an original painting by Ben Nicholson, print published by the Tate Gallery. Measures 32 1/4" wide x 27 5/8" tall in frame. Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was one of the leading British Modernist artists who had significant influence on the direction of sculpture. This iconic print was made after his breakthrough work following a 1934 meeting with Piet Mondrian. The original canvas, which measures nearly seven feet wide, has been in the permanent collection of the Tate (London) since 1955. In his paintings Nicholson was interested in exploring how flat simple shapes of pure color could create the illusion of depth and greater forms. This work epitomizes these types of aesthetic explorations. Nicholson is credited with further expanding the possibilities of Modernism. He was able to extract and elaborate on key ideas from early Modernist contributing movements, whether Constructivism or Cubism. Alongside Barbara Hepworth (Nicholson's ex-wife) and Henry Moore, the trio are the key figures of British Modernist sculpture. Additional images available on request. Publisher: Tate (London) A pioneer of abstract art in England, Ben Nicholson’s dedication to Modernism was profound. Though he began painting traditional still lifes and landscapes in England, an early-career visit to Paris and introduction to Cubism drastically altered the course of his career. Nicholson's exposure to Pablo Picasso’s work inspired him to incorporate abstract elements into his compositions, and soon to abandon representational art altogether. His later friendships with Georges Braque and Piet Mondrian taught Nicholson to paint with geometric lines (which he soon translated into relief carving.) At the rise of WWII, Nicholson moved to Cromwell, England, where he established the St. Ives School for the abstract movement. Shortly after and along with Russian sculptor Naum Gabo, Nicholson published a Constructivist manifesto, after which he was praised for bringing the movement to London.
