Tate Magazine Issue 6: Paul Nash

Paul Nash was preoccupied with his own mortality from childhood. But being posted as official artist to both world wars inspired him to some of his greatest work, now exhibited at Tate Liverpool. By Simon Grant When Paul Nash died in 1946, he was fondly remembered as a great landscape painter, a modern keeper of an old English tradition in which the country's character was depicted in the calm of every branch, brook and rolling hill.

Oooops meant to say thank you for the pearl and all the others you sent. Cheers :0) by goldy Feb 23

Ballet was my first love, I was with the 'Welsh National Ballet' as it was called then,very small company, which I think folded at a later date. They had a studio in Charles Street Cardiff..but all my efforts to get any data about it have failed. Even the New Theatre Cardiff where we had many preformances doesnt seem to hold a record in its archives.....One of our examiners when sitting British Ballet exams was Miss Espinoser...... a grandchild I believe of the great Espinoser who founded the British Ballet organisation.Once a month we had a Lesson from Miss Nordea from Saddlers Wells, I remember watching her perform in place of Alicia Markova. she Used to beat time with a huge stick and use it to get our legs aligned as she liked them. ;0) by goldy Feb 23

Zabytki związane z kulturą chrześcijańską w krajach Wschodu zaczęto gromadzić jeszcze przed formalnym powstaniem Zbiorów w 1996 r. W roku 1937 do MNW trafiły pierwsze zabytki pochodzące z francusko-polskich wykopalisk w Edfu w Egipcie, przekazane przez Uniwersytet im. Józefa Piłsudskiego w Warszawie jako depozyt. Były wśród nich także zabytki koptyjskie, których część umieszczono w salach otwartej w 1938 r. Galerii Sztuki Starożytnej.
