 Paul
Nash, (1889 – 1946)
Biography
Paul Nash was born in London and educated at St. Paul’s
School, later studying at the Slade School of Art where he met
Mark Gertler, Dora
Carrington, William
Roberts amongst others. He was influenced by the artist/poet
William Blake, and by the paintings of Samuel Palmer and Dante
Rossetti.
When World War I began, Paul enlisted in the Artists’
Rifles and went to the Western Front in 1917 as a second lieutenant
in the Hampshire Regiment. Just a few days before the Ypres
offensive he managed to fall into a trench and broke a rib,
and was sent to recuperate in London.
During the Second World War, Paul Nash was employed by the Ministry
of Information and the Air Ministry. He died in 1946 at Boscombe,
Hampshire.

Paul Nash
by David Haycock (Author)
The art of Paul Nash drew heavily on William
Blake, Samuel Palmer and Dante Gabriel Rosetti,
and on Nash's close relationship with the poetry
of the English countryside, leading to his characterisation
as an 'essentially English' artist. But Nash
also produced some of the most imaginative responses
by a British artist to the thrilling potential
of European modernism, experimenting with abstraction
and helping to establish the Surrealist movement
in Britain. Nash's consistent advocacy of the
avant-garde combined with his passionate attachment
to the English landscape established him as
one of the most influential British artists
of the twentieth century, making this a welcome
addition to the Tate's British Artists series.
