Artist
William Nicholson
William Nicholson is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
British printmaker William Nicholson turned everyday objects into bold, graphic art. He carved crisp lines into woodblocks, then inked them to make prints that look like sharp shadows against white space. In our collection you’ll find his 1897 portrait print of Sarah Bernhardt—her face cut from the block like a paper doll. See how the ink stays crisp on the paper; no brush, just the knife and wood. Want to explore more black-and-white prints? Tap “Print of Sarah Bernhardt.”
