Art of the Chalk Downs: Ravilious, Nash & Others By James Russell & Chris Stephens

In the 1910s and 1920s the enigmatic landscape of the chalk downs of southern England began to exert a new fascination on writers, historians, archaeologists and artists such as Paul and John Nash, Eric Ravilious and William Nicholson. This book investigates an extraordinary collision of ancient and modern, idea and place, and the network of artists who worked and lived there. Seventy-five plates of paintings, watercolours, prints and photographs are accompanied by texts written by leading art historians.
