520 8  Paul Nash is widely regarded as one of the most 
       significant British artists of the 20th century. Best 
       known for his evocative paintings of war-ravaged 
       landscapes and his quasi-Surrealist visions of the English
       countryside, Nash was also a consummate photographer, who 
       believed that the camera could reveal aspects of the world
       that the painter could not. From 1930, when he was forty-
       one, through to his death in 1946, he regularly 
       experimented with photography, working with an American-
       made No. 1A pocket Kodak series 2 camera that had been 
       given to him by his wife. Now, for the first time in a 
       generation, the world of Nash's photographs is revealed in
       this intimate new book. While they have long been known as
       a compositional tool for Nash's paintings, this book 
       reveals his black-and-white photographs as powerful and 
       atmospheric works in their own right. From Nash's images 
       of tree trunks and ploughed fields to lighthouses and 
       haystacks, crumbling stone walls and statuary, rocks and 
       pebbles - as well as his circle of friends and fellow-
       artists including Eileen Agar and Edward Burra - it shows 
       the complete range of his fascinating photographic 
       work.0The recent digitisation of Nash's extensive 
       collection of photographs from the Tate Archive shows an 
       artist whose subject matter, style and content was 
       immensely varied and inventive. Including both little-
       known and previously unpublished photographs, and a highly
       informative contextual essay by author Simon Grant, 
       Informal Beauty explores the experimental nature of Nash's
       output and the intensity and power of his photographic 
       vision.
