Negatives of 1267 photographs taken by Paul Nash

1930–46

  • Email

Available online are a set of photographs taken by Paul Nash. Paul Nash began working regularly with a camera in 1930 when he was forty-one, and continued until his death in 1946. His camera was an American-made No. 1A pocket Kodak series 2 - a present from his wife, Margaret, when he went to America in 1931. Many of his photographs show a similar interest in unusual compositions and the same sort of response to the beauty and mystery of the English landscape. They cover many topics from aerodromes, aircraft and aeroplane parts, animals, and archaeological sites and ruins to roads, rock studies, steps, trees, and walls. Nash would often use his photographs as source material for his paintings and direct connections can be made between these images and final artwork, such as the images of wrecked aircraft at Cowley dump, Oxford and the painting Totes Meer (Dead Sea) 1940-1 (Tate, N05717)
