Nicholson at Abbot Hall
KENDAL's Abbot Hall gallery is the opening venue of the first major exhibition of artist Ben Nicholson's work in the UK for more than 14 years.
The show focuses on the artist's years in Britain from 1922 to 1958 and highlights those periods that earlier exhibitions have marginalised.
The exhibition looks at Nicholson's landscapes of the 1920s, including the works painted in Cumberland where he lived with his first wife, Winifred.
It includes his time in St Ives, Cornwall when his abstract and landscape works became central to the establishment of the modernist art community, alongside his second wife, the sculptor Barbara Hepworth. The final section of the show focuses on the Cubist still-lifes made by Nicholson between 1945 and 1958.
