Nash, Paul (1889–1946) English painter and graphic artist. Devoted to the English countryside, he was also closely in touch with European modernism. Surrealism helped to stimulate the poetic, dream-like style of his landscapes, as in The Menin Road (1918) and Landscape from a Dream (1938).

Nash, Paul (1889–1946). Painter and graphic artist. Wounded during the 1914–18 war, he was appointed an official war artist and examples of his work from this time, We are Making a New World and The Menin Road, are in the Imperial War Museum. Essentially a landscape artist, who saw himself as a successor to Blake and Turner, his work was imbued with deep, sometimes prophetic symbolism. In the Second World War, he was again an official war artist; his Totes Meer (Dead Sea) and Bomber in the Corn hang in the Tate Gallery.
