- Monograph on the life and work of Ben Nicholson (1894-1982), one of the pioneers of abstract art in the 20th century
- Explores each phase of Nicholson's creativity as he played with the elements of landscape and still life, explored the eloquence of limitations in his famous white reliefs, and experimented with colour, surface texture and transparency
- Author's acquaintance with Nicholson allows him to craft an exceptionally well-rounded portrait of the artist's 60-year career
- Originally published in 1993 in a larger edition with many supplementary illustrations (also published by Phaidon), this abridged version has been reissued at a highly competitive price
