Film screening: Paul Nash - The Ghosts of War
Nash was scarred by the war, and the ghosts of those experiences haunted his work throughout his life. A lover of nature, Nash became one of Britain's most original landscape artists, embracing modern surrealism and ancient British history, though always tainted by his experiences during two world wars. A private yet charismatic man, he brought British landscape painting into the 20th century with his mixture of the personal and visionary, the beautiful and the shocking. An artist who saw the landscape as not just a world to paint but a way into his heart and mind.
This film is part of the BBC Four three-part series British Art at War: Bomberg, Sickert and Nash
