Between 1934 and the early 1940s, Ben Nicholson made a series of geometric abstractions that combined painting and sculpture. Each “white relief,” of which this is an example, was painstakingly carved from a solid piece of timber and painted with multiple layers of white pigment. Nicholson began creating his white reliefs shortly before his first visit to Piet Mondrian’s Paris studio. Nicholson and Mondrian shared a belief in the potential of abstract art to attain the highest level of aesthetic and spiritual power.
