11、illiam Nash and his first wife, Caroline Jackson, was born in London on 11th May, 1889. His father was a successful lawyer who became the recorder of Abingdon. According to Ronald Blythe: In 1901 the family returned to its native Buckinghamshire, where the garden of Wood Lane House at Iver Heath, an
12、d the countryside of the Chiltern Hills, with its sculptural beeches and chalky contours, were early influences on the development of the three children. Their lives were overshadowed by their mothers mental illness and Nash himself was greatly helped by his nurse who, with some elderly neighbours,
13、introduced him to the universe of plants.Nash was educated at St. Pauls School and the Slade School of Art, where he met Stanley Spencer, Mark Gertler, C. R. W. Nevinson, Edward Wadsworth, Dora Carrington, William Roberts and Claughton Pellew. Unlike some of his contemporaries at the Slade School, N
14、ash remained untouched by the two post-impressionist exhibitions organised by Roger Fry in 1910 and 1912. Instead, he was influenced by the work of William Blake. He also became a close friend of Gordon Bottomley, who took a keen interest in his career.Nash had his first one-man show, of ink and was
15、h drawings, at the Carfax Gallery in 1912. The following year he shared an exhibition at the Dorien Leigh Gallery with his brother, John Nash. The art critic, Ronald Blythe, has argued: Due to the enthusiasm of Michael Sadler and William Rothenstein, the exhibition, though modestly hung on the walls
16、 of a lampshade shop and announced by a home-made poster, was a success. Myfanwy Piper, has added: Nash had a noteworthy sense of order and of the niceties of presentation; his pictures were beautifully framed, drawings mounted, his studio precisely and decoratively tidy, and oddments which he colle
17、cted were worked up into compositions.On the outbreak of the First World War Nash considered the possibility of joining the British Army. He told a friend: I am not keen to rush off and be a soldier. The whole damnable war is too horrible of course and I am all against killing anybody, speaking off
18、hand, but beside all that I believe both Jack and I might be more useful as ambulance and red cross men and to that end we are training. There may be emergencies later and I mean to get some drilling locally and learn to fire a gun but I dont see the necessity for a gentle-minded creature like mysel
19、f to be rushed into some stuffy brutal barracks to spend the next few months practically doing nothing but swagger about disguised as a soldier in case the Germans poor misguided fellowsshould land.Nash enlisted in the Artists Rifles. He told Gordon Bottomley: I have joined the Artists London Regime
20、nt of Territorials the old Corps which started with Rossetti, Leighton and Millais as members in 1860. Every man must do his bit in this horrible business so I have given up painting. There are many nice creatures in my company and I enjoy the burst of exercisemarching, drilling all day in the open
21、air about the pleasant parts of Regents Park and Hampstead Heath.In March 1917 he was sent to the Western Front. Nash, who took part in the offensive at Ypres, had reached the rank of lieutenant in the Hampshire Regiment by 1916. Whenever possible, Nash made sketches of life in the trenches. In May,
22、 1917 he was invalided home after a non-military accident. While recuperating in London, Nash worked from his sketches to produce a series of war paintings. This work was well received when exhibited later that year.As a result of this exhibition, Charles Masterman, head of the governments War Propa
23、ganda Bureau (WPB), and the advice of Edward Marsh and William Rothenstein, it was decided to recruit Nash as a war artist. In November 1917 in the immediate aftermath of the battle of Passchendaele Nash returned to France. Nashs work during the war included The Menin Road, The Ypres Salientat Night
24、, The Mule Track, A Howitzer Firing, Ruined Country and Spring in the Trenches.Nash was unhappy with his work as a member of War Propaganda Bureau. He wrote at the time: I am no longer an artist. I am a messenger who will bring back word from the men who are fighting to those who want the war to go
25、on for ever. Feeble, inarticulate will be my message, but it will have a bitter truth and may it burn their lousy souls. However, as Myfanwy Piper has pointed out: The drawings he made then, of shorn trees in ruined and flooded landscapes, were the works that made Nashs reputation. They were shown a
26、t the Leicester Galleries in 1918 together with his first efforts at oil painting, in which he was self-taught and quickly successful, though his drawings made in the field had more immediate public impact. From April of that year until early in 1919 Nash was engaged on paintings commissioned by the
27、 Department of Information for the newly established Imperial War Museum. His poetic imagination, instead of being crushed by the terrible circumstances of war, had expanded to produce terrible imagesterrible because of their combination of detached, almost abstract, appreciation and their truth to
28、appearance.In 1919 Nash moved to Dymchurch in Kent, beginning his well-known series of pictures of the sea, the breakwaters, and the long wall that prevents the sea from flooding Romney Marsh. This included Winter Sea and Dymchurch Steps. Nash also painted the landscapes of the Chiltern Hills. In 19
29、24 and 1928 he had successful exhibitions at the Leicester Galleries. Despite this popular acclaim in 1929 his work became more abstract. In 1933 Nash founded Unit One, the group of experimental painters, sculptors, and architects which included Herbert Read, Edward Wadsworth, Henry Moore, Barbara H
30、epworth, Edward Burra, Ben Nicholson and Wells Coates. Nash also contributed to the Architectural Review and Country Life and wrote Shell Guide to Dorset (1936).During the Second World War Nash was employed by the Ministry of Information and the Air Ministry and paintings produced by him during this
31、 period include the Battle of Britain and Totes Meer. His biographer, Myfanwy Piper, has argued: This war disturbed Nash but did not change his art as the last one had. His style and his habits were formed, and in the new war he treated his new subjects as he had treated those he had been thinking a
32、bout for so long. His late paintings, both oils and watercolours, are alternately brilliant and sombre in colour with the light of setting suns and rising moons spreading over wooded and hilly landscapes.Paul Nash died at 35 Boscombe Spa Road, Bournemouth, on 11th July 1946.www.spartacus.schoolnet.c

39、lowness by Sten Nadolny, translated byRalph Freeman Canongate. You are invited to read this book review.A John Franklin (1786-1847) was the most famous vanisher of the Victorian era. He joined the Navy as a midshipman at the age of 14, and fought in the battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar. When peac
40、e with the French broke out, he turned his attention to Arctic exploration, and in particular to solving the conundrum of the Northwest Passage, the mythical clear-water route which would, if it existed, link the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans above the northern coast of the American continent. The
41、 first expedition Franklin led to the Arctic was an arduous overland journey from Hudson Bay to the shores of the so-called Polar Ocean east of the Coppermine River. Between 1819 and 1822, Franklin and his twenty- strong team covered 5550 miles on foot. Their expedition was a triumph of surveyingthe
42、y managed to chart hundreds of miles of previously unknown coastlinebut their inexperience in polar travel and inadequate supplies meant that the journey back to civilisation, across the Barren Ground, turned into a catastrophe. Food ran out while they were still days from safety, and the men were f
43、orced to eat lichen, their belts and their boots (which they boiled up to make leather soup). Nine men died of starvation. One of the French-Canadian guides, suspected of cannibalism, was executed.B There followed a career as a travel writer and salon-goer (the man who ate his boots was Franklins ta
44、g-line), a second long Arctic expedition, and a controversial spell as Governor of Van Diemens Land. Then, in May 1845, Franklin set off with two shipsthe Erebus and the Terrorand 129 men on the voyage that would kill him. In July, the convoy was seen by two whalers, entering Lancaster Sound. Nothin
45、g more would be heard of it for 14 years. Between 1847 and 1859, more than thirty expeditions were dispatched in search of Franklin and his men. They explored thousands of miles of new land within the Arctic regions, and contributed to the development of sledge-travelling as a means of polar travel. The details are still uncertain, but it seems that in September 1846 in Vi
