Ben Nicholson
Ben Nicholson was born in Denham, Buckinghamshire on the 10 April 1894 and died 6 February 1982. He was a British painter of abstract compositions, landscape and still-life. His first notablecomposition was when following a meeting with the playwright J. M. Barrie on holiday in Rustington, Sussex in 1904. As a result of this meeting, Barrie used a drawing by Nicholson as the base for a poster for the play Peter Pan. In Paris in 1933 he made his first wood relief, White Relief, which contained only right angles and circles. He believed that abstract art should be enjoyed by the general public, as shown by the Nicholson Wall, a mural he created for the garden of Sutton Place in Guildford, Surrey.
