Ben Nicholson. Painting, 1934.

Take yourself back to 1934 and imagine what a clean new world they were building. We take it for granted now, and have some perspective on the more unfortunate side effects too, but we stand on their shoulders for our vision. I'm amazed at the break achieved by this whole generation, born to bloomers and carriages and then creating space-age minimalism, scraping the world down to its essence. Also, he was married to Barbara Hepworth for a time!
