Paul Nash (1889-1946) created an individual pathway through English art in the first half of the 20th century shaping a body of work that recognised the importance of the modern movement & stimulated him to evolve his own English landscape-based Surrealism. Within a narrative that is both chronological & thematic Andrew Causey the leading authority on Paul Nash teases out the character of Nashs vision & unravels his personal mythology. Nashs values link him to Romanticism in an art that is deeply imbued with personal feeling in which elements of landscape merge with individual identity & a sense of the essential nature of England itself. While evidence of this is drawn principally from Nashs painting Andrew Causey also stresses the revealing nature of Nashs writings & the importance of the artists book illustration. Building on the authors pioneering catalogue raisonne on the artist this publication sets Nashs vision in the wider cultural context of literature & poetry & takes new scholarship into account. Including 100 colour images Paul Nash combines up-to-date scholarship with the best of Nashs paintings & is an invaluable addition to the literature on an artist whose centrality to English art is increasingly recognised.
