Book excerpt: 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.
