Brothers in arms

de Paul Gough

"When brothers Paul and John Nash held their first exhibition in 1913 ... they were regarded as equally talaented ... As war broke their fortunes diverted: Paul achieved instant recognition as an Official War Artist, while John withstood the terrors of the trenches as an infantryman. In 1918 they came together again, painting side by side in an old herb barn to conjure up their searing visions of the Western Front. Once these were finished and exhibited to wide acclaim, they went their different ways. This book explores the work of the two brothers ... their divergent early careers ... the moments they came together to share a show or a studio, and also the long periods where their fortune fared so differently"--Publisher's description.
