1950 (still life)

Ben Nicholson 1894 - 1982

Summary

An abstracted, cubist-inspired still life consisting of overlapping shapes and sharply drawn outlines in pale tones. The objects depicted appear to be cups, plates and goblets on a square table top. The artist plays with traditional notions of space with his overlapping shapes.
