Synopsis

A fully illustrated publication to accompany the first major presentation of William Nicholson (1872- 1949) in over two decades, spanning the entire career of an extraordinarily versatile and popular artist. Defying categorisation, Nicholson sat both at the heart of the art world and apart from artistic movements of his day. In this book, his spectacular output is considered afresh, from his acclaimed prints and book illustrations to his sensitive portraits of individuals of all ages and from all groups in British society. In unrivalled still lifes to expansive landscapes, Nicholson's pictures are not simply representations of the visible world or scenes ripe with hidden symbolism; his are paintings of dazzling brushwork and exquisite colours that speak of his delight in the observation of his subjects. Exploring the premise that Nicholson's work is more complex than previous interpretations have suggested, this publication will position Nicholson's output as a product of the artist's times, as revealed by his portrayals of key figures of the British Empire and his close relationship with London's theatre world.
