| Inspired by the paintings of Modernist pioneer Ben Nicholson, the angular construction forms a neutral armature and backdrop for display, also framing views across to St Mary's churchyard through a huge vitrine on the street frontage. Nevinson was present, along with Marlow Moss, an epigone of Mondrian, but Ben Nicholson was a glaring omission, Paris having partly provided the impetus for his mid-30s white reliefs. North and south faces of the building are also symmetrical but on the south the pattern of delicate verticals, floating horizontals and projections is more abstract, reminiscent of a Ben Nicholson. |
