This painting is The Hillsides At Bougival, an 1875 painting by Alfred Sibley.
Paul Nash painted Void in 1918, a vivid memory of his time in the First World War.
This is also a Nash work, painted from 1919-20, titled A Night Before Bombardment.
This painting is by British artist Victor Pasmore, done in 1944 and titled Evening, Hammersmith.
For today I finish with a view down into the garden courtyard.
The Nash painting are quite different. His perspective of course---very interesting.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteyour header image is also very beautiful.
Nice paintings. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe difference between the two paintings could hardly be greater, but I think the first two paintings are very beautiful.
ReplyDelete...war art is a special genre.
ReplyDelete@MB: it is.
ReplyDelete@Italiafinlandia: thanks!
@Nancy: thank you.
@Jan: I agree.
@tom: definitely.
I can't imagine wanting to hang a depiction of war on my dining room walls!
ReplyDeleteInteresting paintings. I really should learn more about art. I like a lot of stuff, but don't know much about anything!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
The National Gallery has some wonderful paintings.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteHillside and Evening are my favorites, war images not so much.
Take care, enjoy your weekend!
Very nice paintings. I like that shadowy courtyard, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a change in style took place during this post, William.
ReplyDeleteNash has the style if Group of Seven.
ReplyDeleteThe Void is such a poignant painting William, super shadow shot down into the courtyard ✨
ReplyDeleteBig difference. I love the first painting.
ReplyDeleteI seem to know that first Nash painting very well and if I'm not mistaken it was on the cover of the paperback of "Goodbye To All That", Robert Graves war memoir, which I studied at school over 50 years ago. Can't remember much else about the book though!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any works of Sibley in a very long time so thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings. I like the courtyard's garden, it looks nice.
ReplyDeleteNash’s work is a treasure.
ReplyDelete@David: and yet they're powerfu.
ReplyDelete@Lea: I have much to learn.
@Shammickite: they do.
@Eileen: thank you.
@DJan: me too.
@RedPat: indeed.
@Red: I can see that.
@Grace: thank you.
@Aritha: I do too.
@John: I haven't heard of that.
@Sharon: the place has some of his.
@Bill: I do too.
@Marie: it is indeed.
Nash certainly can make a picture of war.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteThe collection is quite diverse.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteThe first Nash and the Pasmore really get me this time. What a great selection of paintings.
ReplyDeleteI think so too.
DeleteIt must be a peaceful trek through the gallery these days.
ReplyDeleteDuring the days of Covid it was quiet, more so than usual.
DeleteSome unique painting here ~ a little more lively ~
