Project, Ben Nicholson, 1943, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

white, off-white, grey and tan composition of overlapping squares, rectangles and two circles Subtle differences in color and layering make this work complex, though at first glance it may look simple. Creating a balanced composition with so few elements is challenging, but Nicholson succeeded. The collage’s muted tones were inspired by T. E. Lawrence’s account of his time in the Arabian desert during World War I, on which the film Lawrence of Arabia was based. Born to painter parents, Nicholson followed in their footsteps, pursuing art from a young age. He had his first solo exhibition when he was twenty-eight. Among his friends and colleagues he counted Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Piet Mondrian, and Constantin Brancusi. Works by them are on view in nearby galleries. Size: 10 3/8 x 12 9/16 in. (26.35 x 31.91 cm) 16 7/8 x 20 13/16 in. (42.86 x 52.86 cm) (outer frame) Medium: Oil, graphite and paper collage on multiple boards, within the artist's constructed frame

This afternoon I had the pleasure of taking one of the artist’s friends around the exhibition ‘Ben Nicholson: From the Studio’. It was great to get her insights and to see her evident pleasure at seeing old friends again. “Far-sinating” she declared in a voice we rarely hear today. Apparently Ben Nicholson listened to ‘amorphous music’ when he was in the studio. It was also provided an opportunity to get away from meetings and emails to have a proper look at works such as ‘1932 (Boque)’ kindly loaned by @artscouncilcollection . This is often read in terms of the influence of Cubism and Nicholson’s appreciation of Georges Braque. The ACC catalogue says that this table-top still life is painted on board, but in fact it’s on canvas nailed into board, giving it a hard object-quality with a surface effect achieved by scraping the paint back. I think the word is actually ‘Bocquet’ the brand name of a mustard made in Yvetot, Normandy (the T covered by a cup). At that time Nicholson was making trips to France and he was apparently inspired by seeing shop signs in Dieppe. #bennicholson #bennicholsonfromthestudioexhibition #pallanthousegallery #modernbritish (at Pallant House Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFKcpboJMk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Art - Ben Nicholson’s white relief 1935 Ben Nicholson was, with his second wife Barbara Hepworth, a leading figure in the international modern movement in Britain. With artists in continental Europe and North America such as Mondrian, Moholy-Nagy and Calder they worked together to achieve and promote an art that was abstract, synthesised with architecture and design. In defiance of the increasingly antagonistic nationalism engulfing Europe, position was explicitly internationalist and utopian. The compositional quietude of Nicholson’s white reliefs provided an aesthetic model for a possible social harmony . . . . .
