Landscape in Aiden

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Tate Gallery, London (the UK).

Briefly about the painting:

The rural landscape, with its seemingly unrelated objects, located far from each other among recognizable, but strangely lonely architectural elements, showed that the London exhibition of the surrealist G. de Chirico had a great influence on Paul Nash. The altar heap of logs is associated with dead people, because the dead tree as a symbol of demise was prevalent in the art and literature of the war, as well as in Nash’s own paintings. The artist began to study the abstraction more attentively and applied the techniques of cubism in his works more actively. However, his color preferences remained – the author used calm, ocher and greenish shades of the palette.
