Description: | Paul Nash 1918 1919
image: a devastated landscape, pocked with rain-filled shell-holes. A shattered tree stands to the right, the tree and the
whole foreground dominated by a dense web of barbed wire. The sky is a dramatic contrast between white and purplish red coloured
clouds.
Correspondence in the Imperial War Museum between Nash and the Ministry of Information reveal that the picture was
substantially complete towards the end of 1918 and that Nash planned, but did not execute, a lithograph from the design (IWM War Artists
Archive: IWM WW1 267A-6).
