Format:Paperback
The best, most accessible introduction to this artist in print - this book is highly recommended for young people who are developing an interest in art. It will nurture their appreciation of art, and open a door to environmentally-informed art history.
The book is organised as a biography, charting the emergence then growth of the main themes, and several key motifs, in Nash's work. The writing is lively, clear and avoids jargon, with discussion focussing on a good selection of glossy illustrations. You can directly check the explanation against the paintings and drawings themselves.
Of course, for a more considered analysis of Nash's ideas, and contextual matters, readers need to look to weighter works such Roger Cardinal's The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash; but as an introduction, this work is superlative.

Format:Paperback
One of the great early 20thC British Artists. Excellent short introduction (as are all the British Artist series). I just wish there was a companion book on his brother, John Nash.

Paul Nash,unusually for an English painter achieved success as a war artist(in both WW1 & WW11)a landscape artist and perhaps,as the foremost English surrealist.David Boyd Haycock's short but delightful artistic biography reveals the complex man behind these genres,supported by 60 illustrations and copiious helpful notesa nd quotations.A 'must read' for any serious lover studen of English art.

A good introduction
A nice book, the narrative is interesting and very readable - I often only ever look at the pictures in art books, but this is worth reading. Read more

Excellent book, very well illustrated and produced. Should be in every Nash fan's collection, well worth the modest price.
