Paul Nash, the British landscape and Surrealist painter, lived through
both the First and Second World Wars. His depictions of these human
catastrophes, with their damaged landscapes and broken machinery are
much remembered today. His painting life moved from representational
landscapes, through to the Surrealist and symbolist styles of his later
years where he experimented with abstraction and the everyday. He was
regarded as a fine book illustrator and often created work for other
graphic and theatrical forms.
This new book offers 100 images, with an introduction to his art and
contribution made by Nash to the cultural sophistication of the modern
world.
