William Nicholson, painter : paintings, woodcuts, writings, photographs

London: Giles de la Mare, 1996. Hardcover. New. Grey cloth with color pictorial dustjacket.292 pp., 126 color and 281 bw illustrations. William Nicholson, who is known by many for his early woodcuts and the radical posters of the Beggarstaff Brothers in the 1890s, has become recognized as one of the foremost English artists of his time for the whole range of his work. His haunting downland landscapes, his remarkable still lifes, which capture light and color in an entirely fresh way, and the varied portraits by which he mainly earned his living, form the core of his output and have become greatly prized. This book, compiled by two grandsons, Andrew and (truncated) Tim Nicholson, is with its representative selection of his pictures the first to do justice to the extraordinary diversity of William Nicholson's oeuvre.
