Artwork description
‘Rye Marshes, East Sussex’ (1932) oil on canvas; original size 58.8 x 100.3. This is the artwork as first commissioned by Jack Beddington, publicity director for Shell, and an indefatigable supporter of talented artists in the 1930’s. ‘Rye Marshes’ was subsequently used by Shell in their advertising, incorporating the words ‘Everywhere you Go / You can be sure of Shell’ above an below the image. The print has many of the hallmarks of Nash’s genius, in particular a graphic concision which organizes the main elements of the landscape. But the image is made all the more winsome by the use of colour: ochre, blue and orange. This makes the print as striking visually as it is attractive in its subject matter.
This print is authorised for publication by the artist's Estate and has a seal of authenticity embossed onto the white paper margin. It is from a limited edition of 850 and is hand-numbered and hand-embossed. This print has a typed caption running along its paper border. The caption indicates permission and authorisation from the artist's Estate, and from the museum or gallery holding the work. The caption will be concealed by a mount when the print is framed.
