In the 1920s and 30s Paul Nash captured an age-old idea of England steeped in mystery and magic, in the forward-thinking language of modern art. His paintings of rural Britain’s standing stones, lonely copses and grassed-over forts are full of eerie surrealist expanses, jarring juxtapositions and semi-abstract forms. Clare Neilson’s collection of his work – including illustrated books, wood engravings, photos and letters – provides an engaging insight into his evolving passions. Neilson became friends with Nash when he lived in Rye; his Tyger Tyger uses a photo of a ruin in the forest and bears the words “collage for Clare”.

Just finished. A solid book.
what a storm
How was this even taken?
Tripod. High ISO Speed that allows a fast shutter speed and a camera that is good enough to counter act the grain (since its pretty dark and I don’t see much grain). And one lucky split second where the shutter happened to be pressed just as this happened. It’s like a shot of a lifetime.
^^^^^THAT! :)
Holy fuck
fuck
omgggggg
I cannot count how many times I have reblogged this, and I will never pass up that opportunity.
