Description

For the artist Paul Nash (1889-1946), Oxfordshire's wooded hills, the Wittenham Clumps, were a major source of inspiration. As the Tate's Paul Nash exhibition approaches, Christopher Baines will lead two special walks around the Wittenham Clumps, exploring Nash's enduring fascination with this landscape and the places where he worked. Each event will begin with an illustrated talk.

September was the month that the Nash family visited the Wittenham Clumps on holidays before the First World War, so the countryside will look much as it did when it was discovered by Paul Nash and his artist brother, John.

Christopher Baines runs the Paul Nash & Wittenham Clumps website with artist Anna Dillon. He has given talks about Paul Nash at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and has been interviewed about Nash for the BBC television programmes ‘Paul Nash: The Ghosts of War’ and ‘Countryfile’.

Saturday 3rd September and Saturday 10th September 2016 at 10am. Tickets £15. Further information and booking at the Paul Nash and Wittenham Clumps website: www.nashclumps.org
