David Moxon blogs about the exhibition John Cecil Stephenson Pioneer of Abstraction, on view at the Durham Art Gallery through April 29, 2012.

Moxon blogs "Stephenson is known in Britain for being a pioneer of abstraction… [his] immediate circle included Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Piet Mondrian, Naum Gabo, Henry Moore and the art critic Herbert Read."

More information about Stephenson is also available in a recent article by Mark Brown at The Guardian.
