INFORMAL BEAUTY

NOTE LIBRAIO

For the first time in a generation, the world of Paul Nash’s photographs is revealed in this intimate new book. Best known for his evocative landscape paintings, Nash was also a consummate photographer, who believed that the camera could reveal aspects of the world that the painter could not. While they have long been known as a compositional tool for Nash’s paintings, this book reveals his black-and-white photographs as powerful and atmospheric works in their own right.<br />The recent digitisation of Nash’s extensive collection of photographs from the Tate Archive shows an artist whose subject matter, style and content was immensely varied and inventive. Including both little-known and previously unpublished photographs, and a highly informative contextual essay by author Simon Grant, Informal Beauty explores the experimental nature of Nash’s output and the intensity and power of his photographic vision.
