Worth Matravers, Dorset
1936
Paul Nash, famous for his haunting WWI landscapes, takes a breather in this 1936 watercolor of the Dorset coast. You can almost feel the wind whipping through those spindly trees as they lean over the ancient stone wall. The rolling hills drop down to a sliver of blue sea, painted with loose, airy strokes that suggest a blustery English day. It's a rare, peaceful glimpse from an artist usually associated with the scars of battle, showing his deep love for the British landscape's quiet geometry.
