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.

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.
