Ben Nicholson (1894 - 1982) was an English artist, born in Denham, London and the son of Sir William Newzam Prior Nicholson, who was also an artist. He exhibited with the Paris Abstraction-Creation group in 1933-34 and at the Venice Biennale in 1954, designed a mural panel for the Festival of Britain (1951) and in 1952 executed another for the Time-Life building in London. As one of the leading abstract artists, he gained an international reputation and won the first Guggenheim award in 1957. Although he produced a number of purely geometrical paintings and reliefs, in general he used conventional still-life objects as a starting point for his finely drawn and subtly balanced and coloured variations. He married 3 times and his second wife was Barbara Hepworth.
