Fully illustrated with 200 beautifully reproduced works from Nash’s entire career and a wealth of archival material (some of it never before published), this is a timely survey of one of the most distinctive and well-loved artists of the 20th century.
Featuring works from across the four decades of his rich career, including oils, watercolours, assemblages and photographs, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue is the first to examine Paul Nash’s work in an international context. This book explores how he drew on surrealist ideas to interpret the British landscape in a way that made connections between modernism and tradition.
