EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from King Lear, Act 2 Scene III. Created in 1926 by the talented artist Paul Nash, this ink on paper illustration transports us into a mystical woodland setting. Measuring at 35.8x20.5 cm, it is an exquisite piece held within a private collection. The image showcases the beauty of nature as it intertwines with the world of theater. The female actress and male actor are depicted amidst a dense forest, surrounded by towering pine and spruce trees. The linear hatching technique adds depth to the sketch, creating an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. Nash's stylized approach allows for anonymity within the scene, emphasizing the universal themes that Shakespeare's plays often explore - identity and disguise. This particular illustration belongs to Unit One, which was known for its avant-garde artistic style during that time period. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can almost hear the rustling leaves underfoot and feel the enchantment of being transported into another realm. It serves as a reminder of both our connection to nature and our ability to lose ourselves in theatrical performances. With its intricate details and evocative imagery, this print is not only a testament to Nash's talent but also an homage to William Shakespeare himself - one of history's greatest playwrights whose works continue to captivate audiences around the world.
