Artist and Countryman. John Nash (1893-1977) is the quintessential 20th century painter of the English countryside, but his remarkable achievement has for too long been overshadowed by the more public persona of his older brother Paul. Yet when we want to summon up an image of an idyllic summer''s day, it is John''s 1919 painting The Cornfield that we remember, not one of Paul''s. Nash began as a watercolour painter, and the medium remained his mainstay throughout a long career. |
