Hardcover, dust jacket, 324 pages, text in English
Condition: good, dustjacket with discolouration
This is the first major monograph for the work of an artist whom many consider the greatest English painter of the Century.
From the first, Ben Nicholson's career has been marked by a deep seriousness of intent and complete commitment to the making of art. Among English painters between the wars he stood out for the breadth of his aspirations.
At a time when English art was at its most insular, his direction was uncompromisingly international.In 1958 Nicholson moved from Cornwall to the Ticino, in Switzerland.
His art, however abstract, has always changed and developed in response to his locale, and the clear light of the Ticino, the structure and colour of the mountains, and the changing surface of the lake which his house overlooks have become very much part of his work.
The emphasis of this new monograph is on the intense activity of these last ten years. In still-life drawings, persistent and absorbing themes have been developed with a new precision and clarity; other drawings record a vivid response to the landscape and architecture of Ticino, Italy and the Greek Islands; and a major series of painted reliefs reflects this same response in more abstract form.
The book has been supervised by Nicholson himself; the choice and arrangement of the illustrations are his. John Russell contributes an introduction, both to the artist's life and to his work.
