Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was one of the greatest British artists of the twentieth century, first coming to international prominence with his famous 'white reliefs' of the 1930s. A pioneer of abstract art in Britain, he played a significant role in the European avantgarde, forming close links with Picasso, Braque, Arp, Mondrian and others. At the same time he had a strong sense of tradition, maintaining a life-long attachment to landscape and still-life forms. Central to the establishment of a modernist art community in St Ives, Nicholson's importance as a disseminator of international avant-garde ideas in Britain cannot be overstated. His career spanned more than 60 years and embraced carved reliefs, paintings, drawings and prints. Virginia Button's engaging, fully illustrated survey provides a detailed examination of Nicholson's life and work in St Ives, giving a thorough introduction as well as new insights into the evolving practice of this major artist over a period of six decades."--Wheelers.co.nz.

Book Synopsis Ben Nicholson and Winifred Nicholson by : Jovan Nicholson
Download or read book Ben Nicholson and Winifred Nicholson written by Jovan Nicholson and published by Philip Wilson Publishers. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the artistic partnership of Ben Nicholson and Winifred Nicholson in the 1920s and their friendship and collaboration with Christopher Wood, Alfred Wallis, and the potter William Staite Murray. Inspired by each other, the Nicholsons experimented furiously and often painted the same subject, one as a colorist the other more interested in form. Winifred wrote of her time with Ben, 'All artists are unique and can only unite as complementaries not as similarities'. New research based on previously unpublished letters, photographs and other material draws out their fascinating connections. All the works, many of which are previously unpublished, are illustrated in full color, each with comments relating to the work by the artists and their critics.

Download or read book Queer British Art written by Clare Barlow and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1861, the death penalty was abolished for sodomy in Britain; just over a century later, in 1967, homosexuality was finally decriminalised. Between these legal landmarks lies a century of seismic shifts in gender and sexuality for men and women. These found expression across the arts as British artists, collectors and consumers explored transgressive identities, experiences and desires. Some of these works were intensely personal, celebrating lovers or expressing private desires. Others addressed a wider public, helping to forge a sense of community at a time when the modern categories of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender were largely unrecognised. Ranging from the playful to the political, the explicit to the domestic, these works showcase the rich diversity of queer British art. This publication, the first to focus exclusively on British queer art, will feature sections on ambivalent sexualities and gender experimentation amongst the Pre-Raphaelites; the new science of sexology's impact on portraiture; queer domesticities in Bloomsbury and beyond; eroticism in the artist's studio and relationships between artists and models; gender play and sexuality in British surrealism; and love and lust in sixties Soho. 00Exhibition: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom (05.04.2017-01.10.2017).

Book Synopsis Tate British Artists: Terry Frost by : Chris Stephens
Download or read book Tate British Artists: Terry Frost written by Chris Stephens and published by Tate. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Terry Frost (1915-2003) was one of Britain's great abstract painters. His career spanned seven decades, starting with his introduction to art in a prisoner of war camp, and stretching into the twenty-first century. He drew inspiration from a wide range of sources, but most especially from poetry and from the landscapes of Cornwall, Yorkshire, the Greek islands and America. Resolutely abstract, his paintings, collages and sculptures are known for their exuberance and strong colour. Joyful and celebratory, his work is also a sensitive and contemplative articulation of the way in which the artist experienced the world. In this book Chris Stephens presents Frost's art within a historical context and in relation to the work of his international contemporaries." -- Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Throughout his life, Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was a prolific and creative writer. Correspondent to many, his unpublished letters, selected and extracted here for the first time (along with published writings), reveal fascinating insight into significant events and encounters at various stages of the artist's career, while also demonstrating how Nicholson's aesthetic was interwoven into every aspect of his daily life. Including previously unpublished correspondence to both Winifred Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth, these letters are complemented by those sent to some of the artist's closest friends and trusted supporters, among them Herbert Read, Adrian Stokes, Jim Ede and Margaret Gardiner. Throughout, Nicholson's lively intellect and total commitment to art are clearly evident, as is his association and friendship with some of the key figures of international Modernism, including Mondrian, Henry Moore, and Picasso. Featuring reproductions of key works and selected letters, Ben Nicholson: Writings and Ideas is an invaluable resource to all those interested in the work of this key British artist and the period in which he worked.

Book Synopsis Ben Nicholson by : Sarah Jane Checkland
Download or read book Ben Nicholson written by Sarah Jane Checkland and published by John Murray Pubs Limited. This book was released on 2000 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of Ben Nicholson (1894-1982), a leading light of the British modern movement. Instrumental in forging a bridge between retrogade London and members of the Paris avant-garde of the 30s, including Georges Braque, Piet Mondrian, Naum Gabo and Kandinsky, he was also the creator of one of the rich decade's most famous icons, his white reliefs. This book shows how Nicholson's personality contrasted strongly with the austere image progected by both himself and his critics. His was a Peter Pan character, obsessed with ball games and word play, a dandy whose life entailed a succession of triangular relationships in which he either strung along two women or dallied with other men's wives.
