  • ""Arguably the greatest English artist of the 20th century, Ben Nicholson re-drew the map of English painting. The discovery of pure abstraction in the 1920s led to his famous white reliefs, which constitute Nicholson's most significant contribution to modern art. After using paint to indicate space, he cut into the surface of the picture itself, thus creating an entirely new form of painting. On camera, those who knew Nicholson well offer observations and reminiscences, adding a personal dimension to this thoughtful presentation" -- Container."@en
