Nash’s poster encourages us to buy a season ticket in order to travel more cheaply by train. A modernist suburb is juxtaposed with a monochrome photograph of the Royal Exchange in the heart of the City of London, suggesting that by travelling in from suburbia we can “come out to live”.
Paul Nash was a modernist, surrealist British artist. He is known for his modernist landscapes and work as a war artist. He studied at the Slate School of Art and soon focused his work on landscapes, especially those containing ruins; he went on to produce some of the most recognisable artworks of the First World War, mostly depicting war-torn landscapes.
Condition: very good.
