    ▲ Ben Nicholson OM (1894-1982) 'Kos' signed, inscribed and dated 'NICHOLSON'/April 59/(Kos)' on the backboard, pencil and wash 48 x 35.5cm Provenance: With Galerie Charles Lienhard, Zurich; Sotheby's, London, 6 December 1984, lot 658; Sotheby's, London, '20th Century British Art', 13 July 2007, lot 4; the property of a private collector. Exhibited: Château des Rohan, Strasbourg, 'La Grande Aventure de l'Art du XXe Siècle', June - September 1963, catalogue no. 191. Ben Nicholson's extensive travels throughout his life significantly influenced his artistic development. In 1959, he embarked on a Swan Hellenic tour to Greece, which included numerous stops. This journey proved to be particularly inspiring for Nicholson, as he was deeply moved by the simplistic beauty of Cycladic figurines and Greek architecture. Nicholson's experiences in Greece enriched his artistic vision, leading to a more sculptural approach in his compositions. He began to incorporate subdued colours and a controlled palette, reflecting the serene landscapes and architectural forms he encountered. This influence is evident in the present work and also inspired his pure-white carved reliefs, which became a hallmark of his style. Condition Report: Framed: 75 x 62cm The drawing is mounted on a board. A little time staining with a small brown mark to the top edge, centre left, possibly tape residue (?). The wash is faint. A tiny fold in the extreme lower right corner. Not viewed out of glazed frame.
