The brothers Paul and John Nash, in their very different ways, were
a major influence on twentieth century British design. Paul Nash
(1889-1946) is now recognised as the most significant war artist of
the last century; John Nash (1893-1977) as a plantsman artist. Both
worked as designers and as tutors at the Royal College of Art, Paul
encouraging a generation of designer artists that included Eric
Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Enid Marx. As a committee member of
the Design and Industries Association and President of the newly
formed Society of Industrial Artists (now the Chartered Society of
Designers) Paul promoted design as no less an art form than the
fine arts of painting and sculpture. His clients included London
Transport, Shell and Curwen Press and publishers the Nonesuch and
Golden Cockerel Presses. John became well known for his Edward Lear
influenced humorous illustrations and his superb plant drawings and
wood engravings that illustrate innumerable books and publications.
