Throughout his career, Ben Nicholson (1894–1982) transformed everyday homewares into extraordinary experiments in abstract art. Nicholson’s studio was filled with objects that insp ired him. From patterned mocha-ware jugs and cut glass goblets to spanners, hammers and chisels, these ordinary personal possessions were a source of almost endless inspiration to the artist. The exhibition – and this accompanying book – bring together for the first time Nicholson’s paintings, reliefs, prints and drawings, alongside his rarely seen personal possessions and studio tools. They trace how the artist’s style developed, from his early traditional tabletop still lifes to his later abstract works. Hardback | 136pp | 190 x 245 mm Show more
