Description: "Paul Nash is well-known as one of the most distinguished British painters of the twentieth century. It is less well-known that he was for a time art critic for The Listener and wrote for a number of important journals including The Architectural Review, Country Life, and short-lived avant-garde periodicals such as Axis and the London Bulletin. As a critic and essayist mainly in the 1930s and 1940s Nash was in touch with new art from Europe and took a lead in promoting British modernism.

He wrote not only about the fine arts but about modern graphic and three-dimensional design (of which he was a keen practitioner), and about wider fields that interested him, such as landscape, English traditions in architecture, urbanism and design and, occasionally, his own art.".

"This book brings together, with a commentary, a wide range of Nash's writing. It is an enterprise which has not been tackled before and reflects not only on contemporary art writing but on wider fields of British culture in the first half of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.
