First friends: Paul and Bunty, John and Christine--and Carrington

Uittreksel

Ronald Blythe discovered a trunk full of letters in John and Christine Nash's farm after their death - letters from artists Paul and John Nash, Dora Carrington and Christine Kuhlenthal. He presents their letters in this book with startling paintings of the group. Here is a book about student days, the Western Front, friendship and courtship, and the real passion which all four shared - a love of landscape.
