Courtauld Institute, 14 Strand, Strand, WC2R 0RN
How Much:
£6.00 (Admission)
, £4.50 (Concessions)
An exhibition charting the relationship between one of the pillars of Modernism, Piet Mondrian, and Ben Nicholson - a major name in British twentieth century art.
The show aims to explore not just stylistic parallels, but the closeness of the pair's personal relationship - in 1938, for example, Mondrian moved to London and the two worked in neighbouring studios up in Hampstead.
Focusing on this period just before World War II, this is a focussed and important examination of Modernism at its purest and most refined.
Until 20.05.12.
