Paul Nash LG NEAC SWE (1889-1946)

Paul Nash was born in Kensington, London on 11 May 1889, and was educated at Colet Court and St Paul's School (1899-1906). He then studied art at the LCC Technical School, Bolt Court (1908-12) and the Slade School (1910-12). At first uncertain as to whether to become a poet or a painter, he was strongly influenced by Rossetti but, undistinguished in his figure work, he was encouraged by Claughton Pellew and Sir William Richmond to concentrate upon landscape. Literary interests continued in his important correspondence with a protégé of Charles Ricketts, poet and playwright Gordon Bottomley, and in his study of Samuel Palmer. Following a joint exhibition with his brother, John Nash (1913), he was held in particular esteem by the critic Roger Fry.
