PAUL NASH (1889-1946) EVERYWHERE YOU GO / YOU CAN BE SURE OF SHELL / THE RYE MARSHES. 1932. 29 3/4x45 inches, 75 1/2x114 1/4 cm. B.P. Ltd., Great Britain. Condition B: replaced and overpainted lower left corner, into text; foxing in margins and image; minor losses and repaired tears at edges. Mounted on brittle Japan. Paul Nash, a renowned painter, designed numerous posters for Shell and also contributed to the Shell County Guides which accompanied the landmark posters. "In some ways, the emergence of neo-romanticism during the 1930s, alongside its more clearly modernist contemporaries, is evidence of how, in Britain, contradictory ideas could be held simultaneously. Both Paul Nash and Edward Kauffer were perfectly happy to work in both modern and romantic modes" (Modern British p. 62). Nash, in his graphic approach, developed a "synthesis between feeling and form" (ibid). Modern British Posters p. 63.
