About the artist
His deep fondness for the English countryside coupled with an innovative approach to European modernism set his work apart from his British contemporaries. He is most recognised for his emotive landscapes and striking World War II scenes.
His artistic journey began at the Slade School, and it was interrupted when he was injured while serving in the First World War. During his recovery, Nash became an Official War Artist, creating impactful depictions of No Man's Land's desolate landscape. These pieces remain indelible reminders of the war's devastation.
Nash considered himself a successor to the traditions of luminaries such as William Blake and Turner. His work resonates with the ancient history and myths of the English landscape, infusing it with a magical, surreal quality. His artwork, therefore, paints a rich tapestry of the English backdrop.
