Paul and his wife Margaret moved to nearby Dymchurch in 1921, the same year as this drawing. Nash's mental health was severely impacted by his wartime experience and this was a period characterised by inner turmoil and subsequent recuperation. Study in Pale Tones, the Pond at Oxenbridge is a break from the desolation of Nash's wartime works and a move towards the romantic depictions of the English landscape that characterised his work between in the decade that followed. Oxenbridge Farm in Iden was owned by close friends of the Nashes, Bertram and Kitty Buchanan. Bertram had also served as a war artist and they were frequent visitors to the farm which became a recurrent subject of many of Nash's 1920s works , including Fig. 1, Oxenbridge Pond, 1927-28 (Birmingham City Museums & Art Gallery). From Dymchurch, the Nashes moved to Oxenbridge Cottage in 1925, staying there until they left for Rye in 1930.

PAUL NASH (BRITISH 1889-1946) STUDIO INTERIOR Oil on canvasSigned (lower right)81 x 39cm (31¾ x 15¼ in.)Painted in 1930.Provenance:Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd., LondonBarbara Gibbs and thence by descentExhibited:London, Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd., Recent Developments in British Painting, October 1931, no. 4London, Tate Gallery, Paul Nash, November-December 1975, no. 119Literature:A. Causey, Paul Nash, Oxford, 1980, no. 668, p1. 493The present painting forms part of a rare body of work by Paul Nash that solely depicts an interior, without it being a construct for an external landscape beyond. A tall slender jug holds tentacles of dried grasses and flower heads, perched upon a bookcase filled with casually inserted volumes. Before the bookcase a wooden armchair sits semi shrouded in a white sheet and an architect's T Square rests in the corner, throwing a dark shadow of a cross onto the wall behind.Nash had recently incorporated mathematical instruments into Dead Spring, painted in the previous year following the death of his father, who he was very close to. Writing to his friend Gordon Bottomley he confided that It was a tragic business losing my Dad...As you know I loved him very much...A part of my life goes with him for in so many ways he and I were linked. (A.Causey, Paul Nash, Landscape and the Life of Objects, Farnham, 2013, p.67)In writing about Dead Spring, Causey observes that A ruler and set square add to the sense that design is about geometry, measurement and control, from which the plant is suffering (ibid, p.66) and indeed the tension within the painting is created through the strong linear construction juxtaposed to the withering natural curves of the pot plant. The use of similar subject matter correlates to the present work, however the context in which it is used feels altogether more personal. The dry, formalised technique that Nash started to experiment with in 1929 where the brushstroke is disguised, eliminating the presence of the artist's individual hand and thus giving the work a timelessness and in the case of Dead Spring, a memorialising atmosphere, has been used. However, this artistic objectification is conflicted with the intimate private space in Studio Interior. We the onlooker have stumbled on a quiet overlooked corner of this room. The still life is not formally constructed but seemingly happened upon. These are real objects in a real space acutely positioned to create an emptiness in what appears to be a busy studio. Slightly claustrophobic and nostalgic but with an underlying disquiet that is present in Nash's finest works. This painting is reflective but not sentimental. It does not represent or mark a specific moment but rather the conscious inevitability of time passing for us all. .

PAUL NASH (BRITISH 1889-1946)SEAGULL EYE WIND WAVES Wood Printed with artist's address to Bourlet & Sons Ltd., London label (to underside)52 x 40cm (20¼ x 15½ in.) In the avant-garde English journal Axis no 8 for Early Winter 1937, Paul Nash's object Burnt Offering was reproduced - one of the few images we have of his objects, once quite numerous but now virtually all disappeared. Burnt Offering seems to be a composite object, with what appears to be a turned wooden finial (upside down) or door handle partially destroyed by fire fixed to a concrete or stone base with markings and encrustations that make it look as if it had long been submerged in the sea. Nash's objects were a major presence in the surrealist exhibitions in England in the 1930s. At the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition at the New Burlington Galleries he showed two objects - untitled, but described as Designed Object, and one Found Object Interpreted whose medium was given as Vegetable Kingdom (Marsh Personage). Burnt Offering was also shown at the London Gallery exhibition Surrealist Objects and Poems (1937). As Michel Remy says, Hardly any exhibit has survived from the exhibition, (so far as we know). True to the complexity of the surrealist interest in the object, fifteen categories of object were listed in the catalogue; in Surrealist objects Nash exhibited Homes without Hands and Forest; in Found Objects Long-gom-pa (a five-branch root named after a Tibetan runner famous at the time (Remy); in Found Objects Interpreted Goodness How Sad, Encounter of Wild Stones, Not Cricket and Nest of Wild Stones; in Objects Collages, Aquarium and Only Egg; in Oneiric Objects Tree Man; in Objects for Everyday Use (with Margaret Nash) Basket for Found Objects; Burnt Offering in Perturbed Objects; Moon Aviary in Constructed Objects.For the Cambridge University Arts Society Exhibition of Surrealism (1937) he showed three: Only Egg, The Nest of Wild Stones and Long-gom-pa. In the same exhibition Eileen Agar showed Le père Ubu. In 1938, following the great success of the London International Surrealist Exhibition, Nash showed several works, including Objets aux champs and Objets balancés (probably photographs rather than actual objects, the latter possibly Poised objects [Causey 1973 pl. 27].)Of the twenty-five or so known and named objects, most were dismantled, scrapped, not made or have simply melted away. Forest from Roland Penrose's collection (trees made from glove stretchers) and Only Egg seem to be the only two objects by Nash to have survived, according to the catalogue raisonné. As the Tate catalogue entry for Nash's important photomontage/drawing Swanage, c. 1936 says, Almost none of these objects survives except as depicted in Nash's work, though he apparently continued to keep and collect objects until his death. It is therefore extraordinarily difficult to place the object in question with any certainty although there is plenty of leeway for the existence of a hitherto unknown found object - or possibly found object interpreted. A typewritten label on the back of the object gives the title Seagull Eye Wind Waves and an address for Paul Nash: Whitecliffe Farm, near Swanage, which is where he lived from October 1934 until he moved to the centre of Swanage in 1935. In March 1936 the Nashes left Swanage. So the object (or its collection) would date from roughly the same period as Marsh personage, his first found object, which in some respects, especially visually, it resembles. Whereas Marsh Personage and Long-gom-pa are clearly found natural objects, (the latter furze-wood, the former driftwood, salvaged from a stream, and the first of the found vegetable objects), Seagull Eye Wind Waves is interpreted and worked on. It is composed of three pieces of wood, each with a strong character: the thickly gnarled outer rim of a hollow tree, which embraces a curved form, perhaps once part of a piece of furniture. This has been carved to enhance its resemblance to outspread seagull wings, and the tip of the top wing becomes a bird head; through a hole in the top of this shape runs a thin, antler-like branch. Perhaps this worn forked stick that has pierced the wooden curve was encountered thus in a curious natural formation, and the curve was then interpreted as wings and the bird's head, crudely carved. Gashes and striations in the side of the wooden base, some circling knots in the wood, some indicating the lines of a torso, must belong to the same intervention. It might have been worked by Nash, or found by him as a piece of rough carving, a kind of primitive interpretation by an unknown hand, with a sense of the phallic and sexual suggestions in the lump of wood and its odd impaling. This would be wholly in line with surrealist taste and there are plenty of examples of such finds. For example the construction made by an aliéné, (a frame filled with broken scissors and other sharp implements) found and exhibited by André Breton. This rural find by Nash is in line with his profound love of the natural world and its innumerable forms. He wrote in Axis (January 1935) ...I find I still need partially organic features to make my fixed, conceptual image. I discern among natural phenomena a thousand forms which might, with advantage, be dissolved in the crucible of abstract transfiguration; but the hard cold stone, the rasping grass, the intricate architecture of trees and waves, or the brittle sculpture of a dead leaf - I cannot translate altogether beyond their own image, without suffering in spirit. My aim in symbolical representation and abstraction, although governed by a purpose with a formal ideal in view, seeks always to give life to a conception within the formal shell... In my opinion Seagull Eye Wind Waves is a found interpreted object by Paul Nash.
