	Ben Nicholson \| Jacobson Howard Gallery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Ben Nicholson is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the development of British Abstraction.
		Nicholson maintained that "so far from being a limited expression, understood by a few, abstract art is a powerful, unlimited and universal language".
		The universality of this language, in Nicholson's work, was underpinned by his belief that the cross fertilization of abstraction and representation in fact presented endless possibilities as opposed to restrictions.

		Art historian Lynton, an acquaintance and devoted admirer of Nicholson, is indefatigable, tracing the roundabout evolution of Nicholson's style and inspirations decade by decade, painting by painting.
		The company of women was essential to Nicholson; the first two of his three wives were artists, and every aspect of his daily existence related to his work.
		Lynton's commentary keeps pace with each phase of Nicholson's creativity as he played with the elements of landscape and still lifes, explored the eloquence of limitations in his famous white reliefs, and reveled in the glory of color and surface texture and transparency.

	Ben Nicholson, Drawings and Painted Reliefs
		Though it gives an account of his entire career, this book is the first to focus on the works of Ben Nicholson’s artistic maturity - the drawings and painted reliefs made between 1950 and 1975.
		The drawings have mistakenly been viewed as somehow subsidiary to the paintings and reliefs, when in fact their qualities of wit, poetry, spontaneity and sheer virtuosity place them among Nicholson’s finest and most personal achievements, while the late reliefs are shown to be complementary expressions of the interiorized vision that underlies all Nicholson’s work.
		He wrote the catalogue for an exhibition of Hitchen’s paintings (Serpentine Gallery, London and tour 1989/90) and for an exhibition of Nicholson’s drawings and painted reliefs (Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge and tour 2002/3).
