EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of a modernist masterpiece, built as a studio for the renowned Welsh painter and draughtsman, Augustus Edwin John. Designed by architect Christopher David George Nicholson, also known as Kit Nicholson, in circa 1933, this building stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of art and architecture. Augustus John, a leading figure in the British art scene, was known for his expressive and figurative works, which often explored the human form and emotion. In search of an environment that would inspire his creative process, he commissioned Nicholson to design a studio that would reflect his artistic sensibilities. The modernist building, circa 1937, showcases a sleek, minimalist design, with clean lines, large windows, and a flat roof. The use of natural materials, such as wood and stone, adds to the organic feel of the structure, creating a harmonious balance between the natural world and the man-made. Nicholson, a pioneer of modernist architecture in Britain, was known for his innovative designs that challenged traditional architectural norms. His collaboration with Augustus John resulted in a studio that not only met the functional needs of an artist but also served as a work of art in itself. This photograph, from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of modernist architecture and the creative partnership between two visionary artists. The exterior of Augustus John's studio stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring influence of modernist design on contemporary architecture and art.
