The Wittenham Clumps, close to my house, were a major source of inspiration for Paul Nash (1889-1946), one of the finest British artists of the 20th century. The talk explores Nash's unique and enduring connection with this landscape, showing his #wittenhamclumps work alongside his #warart #surrealism #illustration #photography and #design. Lovely presentation and lecture this evening! So much enjoyed it! My last art history lesson was long time ago. I felt like a student once again tonight 😃 #readingguildofartists #christopherbaines11 #summerlecture #rdgarts (at Reading, England) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cej0g8tLRiD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Paul Nash

"I have tried … to paint trees as tho’ they were human beings"

British surrealist painter, printmaker and war artist Paul Nash was born on this day in 1889.⁠

Nash is considered to be one of the most important landscape artists of the first half of the twentieth century, and played a key role in the development of Modernism in English art. The works that he produced during World War I are among the most iconic images of the conflict.⁠⁠

After the war, Nash continued to focus on landscape painting, but in an increasingly abstract and surreal manner. He found much inspiration in landscapes with elements of ancient history, such as burial mounts and Iron Age hill forts.⁠

We have a number of engravings by Nash in our collection which can be viewed by appointment in our Western Art Print Room when we reopen. ⁠
