William Nicholson (1872-1949) is among the most admired and elusive
painters in the history of British art. Neither academic nor
overtly modernist, his ravishing paintings are a singular
achievement of the early twentieth century. Nicholson made his name
as a graphic artist in the 1890s before turning to painting
full-time. Over the next four decades he explored the genres of
portraiture, landscape and still life with exceptional
inventiveness, wit and technical skill. Yet his aversion to art
groups and his reluctance to make public pronouncements about art
have made it difficult to place his work within the main narratives
of twentieth-century art history. The breadth of Nicholson's
painting is revealed in this sumptuous book, the first fully
illustrated catalogue raisonne of the oils. Many of Nicholson's
pictures have not been recorded before and most are reproduced here
for the first time. This is the catalogue, which represents more
than twenty years of scholarship Nicholson's oil paintings and the
most comprehensive chronology of his life to date. The art
historian Wendy Baron gives a context for Nicholson in British art
at the beginning of the twentieth century, and the painter and
critic Merlin James celebrates the virtuosity of Nicholson's
painting technique and the cerebral subtlety of this most
individual of painters
