Benjamin Lauder Nicholson, OM was a British painter of abstract compositions, landscape and still life. Nicholson was exempted from World War I military service due to asthma. Nicholson married the photographer Felicitas Vogler in 1957 and moved to Castagnola, Switzerland, in 1958. In 1968 he received the British Order of Merit OM. In 1971 he separated from Vogler and moved to Cambridge. In 1977 they divorced. Nicholson died in London on 6 February 1982, and was cremated at Golders Green cemetery. His ashes were scattered over Golders Green Cemetery in the absence of instructions from his family, so there is no grave.
