Sir William Nicholson was initially a woodblock artist creating many prints and illustrations of books such as The Almanac of Sports by Rudyard Kipling.
He developed his painting style from 1900 onwards specialising in still lifes and landscapes. He was also a very successful portrait painter and captured some of the key creative figures in London Society at the time including J.M Barry, Max Beerbohm and Gertrude Jekyll. He was the husband of Mabel Pryde - an accomplished painter and was the father of Ben Nicholson, the leading avante-garde artist of the 1920s and 30s in the UK.
William Nicholson rarely talked or wrote about his work. It was through son Ben and his wife Winifred that we get a greater understanding of William Nicholson’s work especially his virtuosic still lives. This lecture by Art historian Catherine Wallace explores the various subjects, styles and techniques of this modest British master.
One of a series of 6 monthly lectures by Catherine Wallace. Check out the talks tab on our website for information on the other lectures.
