About The Work
Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was one of the leading British Modernist artists who had a significant influence on the direction of sculpture. This iconic print was made after his eponymous masterpiece, titled after a meeting with Mondrian. The original canvas, which measures nearly seven feet wide, was accessioned into the Permanent Collection of the Tate (London) in 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.
Together with Barbara Hepworth (Nicholson's former wife) and Henry Moore, these artists make up the key figures of British Modernist sculpture.
