For an exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery, London, running February 16-May 20, 2012, curators Green and Wright have compiled a catalogue for this first show to explore the creative friendship between Dutch artist Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) and British artist Ben Nicholson (1894-1982). Essays by Green and other contributors discuss their leading roles in abstract art, differing styles, and working relationship at neighboring studios during a period when London was an international center of modernist art. The book includes images of the artists, their works that had been shown in tandem in exhibits or publications in the 1930s, correspondence, and references.
