Book Description
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.

Book Description
This is a critical edition of the art writings of the painter Paul Nash (1889-1946). Alongside the very different Wyndham Lewis, Nash was the only major British artist of his generation who was also a regular critic of, and essayist on, art. He knew and read the leading critics of his day,and evolved a distinctive position in relation to them. His relationship to British modernism and the mutual stimulus of art and criticism, the opening up of his criticism and that of others to poetic and literary influences under the influence of Surrealism is discussed by Andrew Causey. Nash'swritings span the years 1919 to 1946, with the majority dating from the 1930s; they were framed by his profession of painting and his activities as an art teacher, a product designer, and his involvement, as organiser and polemicist, in the art world. All of these helped for form the individualityof his writing.

Book Description
Paul Nash was one of the twentieth-century's Britain's most successful artists, best known for his paintings of the decimated landscapes of World War I battlefields. He was also a wonderful writer, as Outline and Notes--his unfinished 1949 autobiography, now back in print--attests. This book provides insight into Nash's journey from his early Iron Age-inspired landscapes to his later proto-Surrealist work. The new edition of Outline and Notes includes previously unpublished sketches that flesh out the framework for what the rest of the book might have been had Nash not shelved it shortly before his death.

Book Description
Paul Nash (1889-1946) is one of England's most important artists. Though his career was relatively brief, Nash's oeuvre is impressively diverse and draws in paintings, watercolours, prints, set design, book illustration and photography. Focusing on the artist's work as a painter, Andrew Causey skilfully discusses Nash's work from all periods to present the artist's continuity of ideas and ambitions. Paul Nash does not fit easily into any pattern of 20th-century British art. The many themes which run through his work - personal and national identity; the horrors of war - and the many movements and ideas with which he was engaged - Cubism; abstraction; Surrealism; Neo-Romanticism; animism and totemism - makes the task of unravelling the trajectory of his career challenging. By taking a chronological, thematic approach, Andrew Causey analyses the many influences and directions Nash explored in his remarkable career to reveal an artist who combined elements of Modernism and tradition to create a wholly original vision.--

Book Description
Paul Nash (1889-1946) has long been admired as one of the outstanding English landscape painters of this century. Nash has a deep affinity for such favourite sites in Southern England 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. In this book Roger Cardinal surveys the full range of Nash's work, from the ravaged Flanders landscapes of World War One to the spectacular aerial battles of World War Two and the meditative late oils, his final materpieces.

Book Description
Paul Nash in Pictures: Landscape and Dream by James Russell celebrates the life and work of Paul Nash (1889-1946), an artist of energy and vision who created iconic paintings of both world wars and explored in inimitable style the ideas and issues of the interwar years. After a period of neglect following his death, Nash's reputation is in the ascendant again, but though we appreciate the quality of his paintings, we have perhaps lost sight of their humanity. Bringing a fresh eye to the artist's legacy, Paul Nash in Pictures: Landscape and Dream goes behind the scenes of twenty-two paintings to explore Nash's life, the places and people he knew, and the times in which he lived. This new Paul Nash art book draws on diverse sources, from published books to correspondence, to create an intimate portrait of a passionate, funny, supremely imaginative artist.
