Paul Nash is one of the most distinctive and important British
artists of the 20th century. He is known for his work as an
official war artist, producing some of the most memorable images of
the First and Second World Wars, and also as one of the most
evocative landscape painters of his generation. While best known
for his British landscapes, Nash was also a pioneer of modernism in
Britain, promoting the avant-garde European styles of abstraction
and surrealism in the 1920s and 1930s. A major retrospective from
Tate Britain will chart the developments of Nash's career for the
first time through the lens of this perspective, showing how his
landscapes provided a stage for his engagements with international
modernism. Featuring works from across the four decades of his rich
career, including oils, watercolours, assemblages and photographs,
the exhibition and accompanying catalogue will be the first to
examine Nash's work in an international context.The publication
will explore how he drew on surrealist ideas to interpret the
British landscape in a way that made connections between modernism
and tradition, from his early Symbolist manner, through to the
iconic works of the First World War as well as his major landscapes
of the interwar period and his 1940s landscape series engaging with
natural cycles. The catalogue will present new scholarship on Nash,
highlighting in particular his connections with and contributions
to modernist groupings; his interest in animism and mythological
texts; his use and transformation of found objects (in creative
dialogue with Eileen Agar); and his interest in archaeology. Fully
illustrated with over 100 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.
