About Paul Nash

Nash was an official war artist in both world wars, but his main subject was the English landscape. In the 1930s he moved close to Surrealism and showed at the International Surrealist Exhibition in London in 1936.

“Equivalents for the Megaliths” grew out of his visits to the stone circle at Avebury: geometric solids rest in a field in place of standing stones. Beside it are cypresses lit by a half moon, a stormy sky above a country garden and a wood drawn in hatching and washes. Each is reproduced as a giclée print with pigment inks and made to order in Berlin, on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, A4 to A0.
