John Cecil Stephenson [1889-1965] - we specialise in the paintings of this artist who studied at the Slade and Royal College of Art [1914-18].

A close friend of Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth, he initially painted portraits and landscapes before moving to abstraction in 1932.

One-man exhibitions include the Whitechapel Gallery [1937], Lefevre Gallery [1939], Marlborough Fine Art, Fischer Fine Art, Camden Arts Centre and Drian Gallery.

Public collections include the Tate Gallery, National Museum of Wales and V&A.

A book was published on his work in 1997 by Simon Guthrie.

We held a one-man exhibition of his paintings, 1919 to 1960, in January / February 2010.

We want to buy paintings by John Cecil Stephenson - particularly his abstract paintings from the 1930s onwards
