Pallant House

On the 16th of September 2014 we took a trip down to Pallant house, Chichester

There were several exhibitions including: De'Longhi Print room, Barbara Rae prints

The Scottish colourist : JD Fergusson and royal academician printmakers.

Barbara Rae

JD Fergusson

Throughout the whole of the gallery there was a wide variety of pieces from abstract to 3D and traditional.

There was several pieces that I had liked below is one of my favourite from that visit.

Paul Nash 1889 - 1949

Winter Wood 

1922

Wood engraving on paper

This piece was one of my favourite pieces in the exhibition although it's small i like the detail of the lines as the main colour is black it really shows the true message behind the piece.

Nash's experience of the war left him town between Vorticism and its embrace of the modern machine age, and the romantic tradition of the english landscape. there is a sinister feel to this engraving, depicting a solitary female entering the dark forest.

Nash's mother suffered from depression and died when he was a young man. He was intensely aware of his mortality and often spent time in the wood near his parents home.
