Art, life, love : narratives from the Benedict Nicolson Archive
-
Description
-
Benedict Nicolson (1914-1978) was an art historian and editor of the Burlington Magazine for nearly forty years. Born into an aristocratic but also liberal and bohemian family, and coming of age in the tumultuous interwar period, he encountered unprecedented opportunities and experiences. This display explores Nicolson’s extraordinary life through his archive. Created almost exclusively in a personal capacity, and documenting Nicolson’s relationships with both men and women, the material presents an incredible resource for the study of art history, social history and the history of gender, sex and sexualities.
