A long-overdue biography and rediscovery of John Nash, Paul's brother and a major 20th-century British artist in his own right
Andy Friend is the author of Ravilious & Co: The Pattern of Friendship, which Thames & Hudson published in 2017. He conceived and co-curated the eponymous exhibition which toured the UK in 2017-18, attracting c. 100,000 visitors.
'Andy Friend deftly carries the reader into a much-peopled
narrative, opening up many insights into the art world at the same
time that he gets inside the personal life of John Nash and his
wife Christine Kühlenthal. Rarely is such extensive scholarship
communicated with such ease. This gifted writer brings new depths
of understanding to Nash’s achievement as an “artist-plantsman”, a
label Nash himself chose' - Frances Spalding
'A substantial and thorough book with much original research that
tells the story not just of its subject, but also much of the
development of art in the twentieth century' -

'Andy Friend vividly gives [Nash] his due, portraying a sympathetic
man and substantial artist' - Best Art Books of 2020, Sunday
Times
'An excellent book' - The Lady
