Paul Nash: Outline. An Autobiography

When eventually published in 1949 Nash’s incomplete memoir was supplemented by letters that he wrote to his wife from the Western Front in 1917. This new edition includes these letters for the vivid insight they give into Nash’s experience of the war. The third element of the new edition is Margaret Nash’s revealing (and previously unpublished) 1951 memoir of her husband. What emerges through these different narrative voices and perspectives, enhanced with photographs of Paul and Margaret Nash and reproductions of key works from throughout Nash’s career, is a fascinating portrait of a major figure in Modern British art.
