Description: London: Royal Academy of Arts, 2004. First Edition. Contemporary blindstamped cloth. ISBN: 1903973449. Light shelfwear. Gallery catalogue slipped in at front. ; 24 x 27 x 2.7cm; 176 pages; In the past decades critical responses to William's art have alternated between astonishment at pictures that are often as fresh and glowing as the day they were painted, and bewilderment that a twentieth-century artist could be seemingly untouched by revolutions in art from impressionism on. Published to coincide with the first full retrospective in almost a quarter of a century - and the first in London since 1942 - this catalogue contains new texts by leading specialists on the many facets of Nicholson's work. A series of scholarly texts and catalogue entries accompany the broadest display of his painting ever published in colour, as well as an account of the artist's well-known and considerable body of graphic work. An essential purchase for anyone interested in British art. The informal still-lifes, understated portraits and strikingly 'minimalist' landscapes of Sir William Nicholson have long been admired..
