Description
Paul Nash (1889-1946) has long been admired as one of the outstanding English landscape painters of the 20th century. Nash had a deep affinity for Southern England - his favourite subjects were locations such as the rolling downland near Swanage, the gaunt coastline at Dymchurch, the enigmatic stone circles at Avebury, and the twin hills in Oxfordshire known as the Wittenham Clumps, which became his ultimate 'Place' and the focal symbol of his art.
This evocative book surveys the full range of Nash's work, from the ravaged Flanders landscapes of the First World War to the spectacular aerial battles of the Second World War Two, and the meditative late oils, his final masterpieces.
