An Artist Haunted by Death & Mortality
by Sasha Dee
Paul Nash as the second Lieutenant
Paul Nash was born in 1889 in London. His father was a prosperous lawyer. Sadly his mother suffered from a very long mental illness when he was growing up. This affected his mental make up. When he was twenty one his mother died in1910 in a mental institute.
Ever since Death and mortality started haunting him.
That year he produced a revealing drawing, Angel and Devil, in which two, half-bird-half-human figures battle on a hilltop, accompanied by some of his own poetry:
‘A place of gibbet-shapened trees and black abyss,
Where gaunt hills brooded dark and evil,
Girdled by dense woods and rushing streams,
A dread place only seen in dreams.’ Read More »
