Michael Kerrigans concise, illustrated biography introduces the life of Paul Nash (1889-1946) and traces his artistic development through the earlier artists who inspired him and the landscapes and experiences that informed his art, particularly the devastation of the Western Front, which he witnessed as both soldier and war artist during the First World War. The essay accompanies around 90 full-page reproductions of Nashs paintings, lithographs and engravings, in sections on war, landscape and abstracts and still life.
