Comment(s): Nicholson’s Cubist-influenced works contributed to the history of abstraction. Known for his distillation of visual information into pared-down geometric shapes, the artist represented a melding of British sensibility with European modernism. His austere paintings, drawings, and reliefs are among the most influential abstract works in British art. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [30515-2-75000]
