This is the first major exhibition of the celebrated artist William Nicholson (1872 – 1949) in more than 20 years.

More Information (V2 Radio is not responsible for external websites)

Spanning Nicholson’s entire career, this landmark show reveals the breadth of his artistic vision – from world-renowned still lifes, insightful portraits and evocative landscapes to his poster designs and playful book illustrations.

Highlights include the bold posters he produced with his brother-in-law James Pryde as ‘J. & W. Beggarstaff’, his celebrated woodcuts from An Alphabet (1898), original illustrations for The Velveteen Rabbit, works created during travels to India, and poignant wartime paintings, as well as his glittering still lifes, which showcase his mastery of light and texture.

Visitors can view rarely seen works, and intimate depictions of family and friends – including a newly displayed portrait of his son, artist Ben Nicholson.

The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover one of Modern British art’s most beloved and versatile figures and is accompanied by a new catalogue, with contributors including Stephen Calloway, Simon Martin, Miriam O’Connor Perks, Jane Pritchard, Patricia Reed, and Melanie Vandenbrouck.
