‘The real revelation came on a visit to Paris about the end of 1920 or spring 1921. I remember suddenly coming on a cubist Picasso at the end of a small upstairs room in Paul Rosenberg’s gallery – it must have been a 1915 painting – it was what seemed to me then completely abstract and in the centre there was an absolutely miraculous green – very deep, very potent and absolutely real. In fact, none of the actual events in one’s life have been more real than that, and it still remains a standard by which I judge any reality in my own work.’ Ben Nicholson, 1948.
