Come to our 2021 Winter Lecture - Thursday, November 25th 2021
Jeremy Greenwood, author of The Wood Engravings of John Nash, will speak on John Nash in the Stour Valley
John Nash in the Stour Valley is the subject of this year's winter lecture
An internationally famous artist, John Nash lived at
Bottemgoms, a former yeoman’s cottage north of Wormingford, from 1944
until his death in 1977. Together with his brother Paul, John first came
to prominence shortly before the First World War. They both became
official war artists, in John’s case after he had seen active service in
the trenches. He was primarily a landscape artist and many of his
drawings and paintings feature scenes in the Stour Valley.
Our speaker Jeremy Greenwood compiled a catalogue raisonné of John Nash’s wood-engravings and published it as The Wood Engravings of John Nash in 1987, with a further volume last year entitled John Nash: Newly Discovered Engravings and Drawings. Since 1991, Jeremy has published a series of catalogues raisonnés of mid-twentieth century English artists who made prints – Paul Nash, Edward Bawden, Edward Wadsworth and Eric Ravilious among them. He has been involved with the author Andy Friend during the writing of his book John Nash: the landscape of love and solace and has assisted with the recent exhibition of John Nash’s work at the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne.
