Ben Nicholson More Prints
British, 1894-1982
Ben Nicholson, one of Britain’s most influential modernist painters, was the son of renowned artist William Nicholson. His early career was shaped by extensive travels during the 1920s with his first wife, Winifred Roberts, living between Cumberland, London, Paris, and Switzerland. Initially experimenting with a post-Cézanne style, Nicholson later embraced a more consciously "primitive" approach to landscape painting in 1927, influenced by his encounter with the work of Alfred Wallis. Between 1931 and 1939, while living in London, Nicholson became closely associated with leading artists and critics such as Henry Moore, John Piper, Naum Gabo, and Herbert Read. Encounters with European modernists, including Hans Arp, Constantin Brâncuși, Piet Mondrian, and Jean Hélion, profoundly shaped his artistic direction. By the late 1930s, he had developed the highly abstract style for which he is best known.
In 1931, Nicholson met sculptor Barbara Hepworth, who would become his second wife. During World War II, they relocated to St Ives with Gabo and Adrian Stokes, contributing to the town’s emergence as a centre for modernist art. By the 1950s and 1960s, Nicholson had gained an international reputation, his work celebrated for its purity of form and pioneering abstraction.
Following the war, he lived in London, Cambridge, and Switzerland at various times. In later years, he married for a third time, to photographer Felicitas Vogler, continuing to refine his artistic vision until his death in 1982.to

Restaurant in Mott Street
By Charles Frederick William Mielatz
Located in New Orleans, LA
The image depicts a restaurant on New York's Mott Street with ornamental iron work on the balconies. There are six figures in the scene in various stages of contrast. Mott Street is considered the unofficial Main Street of New York's Chinatown. Ella Fitzgerald sang it best: “And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July? Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.”
CFW Mielatz was an early influence on the drypoints and etchings of Martin Lewis. This piece was created in 1906 and it is signed in pencil. It is part of the collection of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art
C.F.W. Mielatz
American, 1860-1919
Born in Bredding, Germany in 1864, Mielatz emigrated to the United States as a young boy and studied at the Chicago School of Design. Mostly self-taught, his first prints were large New England landscapes reminiscent of the painter-etcher school of American Art. Around 1890 he started to produce prints of New York City and by the time of his death, the number totaled over ninety images. He was a master technician in the field of etching, reworking many of his plates to get the exact feeling he was seeking. Mielatz was a member of the New York Etching...
