4 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 4 The Thing Observed: Ben Nicholson and Victor Pasmore William Packer In their very different yet oddly complementary ways, Ben Nicholson and Victor Pasmore were two of the dominant figures of English painting of the mid-20th century. We are living now through a time, which no doubt will pass, in which the currency of contemporary painting hardly holds the pre-eminence it once enjoyed, almost as of right. To look back now barely 40 years, in the light of modern received opinion, we might well come to the conclusion that there were Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, and David Hockney perhaps, and no one else of any significant interest whatsoever. The reality was very different, and it is salutary to remember quite the extent to which Bacon in particular, major figure that he already was, was nevertheless by no means held as first among his equals. With Freud in critical limbo, and Hockney still with so much to prove, Sutherland, Vaughan, Scott, Davie, Hitchens, Heron and the rest were all there or thereabouts. And, as with all of them, any new exhibition by Nicholson or Pasmore was an event. 4

8 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 8 Perhaps even more so: for each in turn, and in his particular way, had come to be quite consciously a radical modernist thorn in the side of critical expectation. By his self-identification with the Parisian avant-garde of the 1920s, and his early flirtations with abstraction in the 1930s, the young Nicholson had seemed quite deliberately to set himself against all his distinguished father William had ever stood for. For Pasmore, only the slightly younger man, having made his name with his Euston Road intimism of the war years, it was his turning to a more formalistic manner in the later 1940s that seemed to many of his supporters a betrayal. Pasmore Goes Abstract may not quite have led to questions in the House, but it made the headlines. Nicholson was born in 1894, Pasmore only 12 years later, in 1908, and both lived into a great and still productive old age, Pasmore dying at the age of 90, Nicholson at 88. Near contemporaries that they were, however, there was 8

12 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 12 never to be any particular association between them in their careers, neither in critical nor practical terms, both of them fiercely independent within the generally prevailing modernist milieu, and Nicholson in particular ever jealous of his avant-garde seniority. Mutual respect may have been one thing, but neither of them was ever likely to admit an influence. Yet here, in this closely focused exhibition, we find them together at last, Pasmore for the most part in his 60s, Nicholson in a somewhat broader span from his late-50s to his 80s, each presented in a concise body of small-scale, more or less contemporaneous and, in its essence, intimate work. And for all the obvious differences between them, there is yet a decided and perhaps unexpected current of sympathy to be found running between them. It is a question, perhaps, of the moment, albeit an extended moment, at which we catch them in their careers. For while each is by now, far more than established, indeed secure in international reputation, each seems to be moving on again, through a 12

16 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 16 passage of reflection and questioning in the development of their work. And in that questioning, in formal terms at least, they do seem to have been preoccupied with closely similar things. It is a truism not so much of criticism as of common observation, that, whatever superficial shifts and changes may be apparent over any long career, an artist s underlying preoccupations and formal interests tend to remain uncannily the same. The same image, the same form, the same structure, the same fundamental approach, are returned to again and again, not by any conscious design but by instinct. That very point is most forcibly made here by anchoring, as it were, the principal group of Nicholson s much later drawings upon a single drawing from the early 1930s, of the Café Robinson at St Remy. 16
17 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 17 VICTOR PASMORE 4 Abstract in White, Black and Umber 1970 Projective painting, oil, wood on board 41 x 41 x 5.5cm
18 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 18 There is to it the unmistakeable sense of having been made on the spot, the handling loose and spontaneous in character, the incidental detail of a sort born only of actual and direct attention. Yet there is to it too a countervailing sense of a more formal approach, selfconscious and considered. The selective economy of the description amounts at times to a flirtation with abstraction, with a quality of line, by turns cursive, decorative and wilfully idiosyncratic, that has more to do with formal effect on the page, in the making of the image, than with taking note of incident or view. The mark itself, and the quality and rhythm of the mark across the surface, are ever the more important. So to move on some 40 years, to the medieval Gateway drawing of 1973 for example, is, plus ça change, to come to an image and a work that could be described in almost exactly the same terms, word for word, with only the wash of body colour, and a somewhat sharper, tighter line, to point a difference. 18

22 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:11 Page 22 What informs this whole body of Nicholson s work is not the primacy of the thing seen, but what may be made of it as Art. Any irregular scrap of paper will do as a support, its very contours often setting the matrix and rhythm of the composition then improvised upon it. And any old implement to hand will do the job, even the felt-tip marker-pen of the last drawings, if only to discover just what kind of mark it makes, and to exploit the effect to which it may be put. Each sheet carries an image with a recognisable source in the external visible world landscape, architecture, still-life but not all are local or circumstantially specific. Did he take that jug off the shelf and place it just so, or is it simply now the jug of jugs, an ideal, abstracted construct of all such remembered jugs? Were those columns and arches set in quite such profile, quite so offbalance, and the distant hills beyond quite so neat? Did those carafes impinge upon each other, just so, on the 22

24 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:12 Page 24 café table? Such simplification leads inexorably to the ultimate simplicities of pure geometry, and to the thought it throws back, that even the most complete and formal of Nicholson s major abstract works, with their blocks and circles, were rooted, if only at the most tenuous remove, in something seen. It is at least a possibility, and one which Pasmore proposes rather more directly than Nicholson in the works here. For Pasmore too was from the start a painter of the visible world of the landscape, the figure and the domestic interior and still life and if that principle of essential consistency holds good, so he remained, whatever the appearance to the contrary. By the time we find him here, however, in the late 1960s and early 70s, the visible world as such is but a faint visual echo, no more than a residual hint or suggestion in the work, schematically achieved by barely more than a wandering line, a stripe of paint on the surface, or the fall of a shadow. 24

28 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:12 Page 28 But quite what is it now: painting or sculpture? Again, and even more so than with Nicholson, its sheer physicality is clearly Pasmore s first, or at least most obvious consideration what the thing is in its material presence and the way it is made. He sets one slab of wood upon the parent panel. He scratches a line lightly across the surface, then scores another deep into it. He identifies the protruding block with a simple dab or stripe, the paint transgressing each separate surface, across and up the side and across again. Painting? Sculpture? It may certainly be taken as Relief, that debateable territory between the two: for even where nothing is added beyond the mark or line, each panel is presented proud of its larger supporting board set within its frame. These things are manifestly things in themselves, objects to be taken as they are, for what they are. Yet there they are, hung four-square against the wall, and clearly meant to be seen from that single point of view. 28

30 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:12 Page 30 And so we face the eternal paradox of the Relief, that material object that invites us into an illusory pictorial world. The inferences and suggestions keep creeping in unbidden, naughty thoughts of immaterial things, and other worlds. A horizontal line divides the panel, and immediately an horizon is set as being, well, an horizon, with space before it, and infinite space beyond. A line wobbles towards it, and up and over it, and paths appear before it, and hills beyond. In several of the later pieces, a rather squashed melon-like oval form articulates the surface, moving across each distinct level in formal balance with the other elements, yet, with a couple of dots here and a vertical or lateral stroke there, it is inescapably suggestive, Picasso-like, of a pudding head and face. Sometimes the image appears more cosmic than terrestrial, a nebulous form held like a visual charge of energy between two elements, or focused upon a single nodal point. And sometimes, in an unspecific way, such 30

34 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:12 Page 34 vaguely organic forms are more earthily suggestive, even frankly sexual, in their connotations, whether intended or not. Sometimes indeed, the hint may taken all ways at once are those clouds in the sky or pendulous breasts; is that a female bottom or a black hole deep in space? Yet even as we give in to such imaginative temptation, Pasmore raps our mental knuckles, as it were, with a formal stroke a sharp vertical here, a crisp angle there, a lateral emphasis or a central vertical point of balance - to bring us back to the surface, and to earth. For Pasmore in particular, this was a period of transition, in which the harder, more schematic formalism of the 1950s and earlier 60s, founded upon near-architectural models, lay-outs and plans, was giving way to the more fluid and intuitive manner that was to characterise his later years. The physical emphasis begins to fall away with the return of a more painterly engagement, with the paint itself thinner and the surface sprayed or wiped. 34

38 NichPass_text_New:Layout 1 10/3/08 13:12 Page 38 And the imagery begins to settle into that final habit of the broad and generalised organic form held in check by the sharp particular mark. Nicholson we see thoughtfully recapitulating ideas, images and approaches that had always engaged him, even as a young man. And what unites them here is the central issue with which they both engaged, of reconciling in their work the essential opposition between the formal mark and the inferred reference, no matter how oblique, to the real world on the one hand the line on the surface, and the nature and quality of the mark: on the other the thing observed, the sensation felt, light and space, form and structure.
