Review Quotes
Sunday Times
"Lambirth is an adroit guide to this particularly English painter whose greatest inspiration was the beguiling if undemonstrative countryside of Suffolk."
Times Literary Supplement
"This is a diligent, thoroughly researched account, packed with detail, enlivened by letters and the recollections of Nash’s contemporaries. . . . John Nash: Artist and Countryman is valuable for the superb illustrations, beautifully reproduced throughout, and supplemented by a gallery of works that Lambirth found in the course of his research and could not fit into the text, many in private collections."
Apollo
"Lambirth, in this well-illustrated monograph, forswears biography and keeps John Nash's art very much to the fore, yet provides a rounded portrait of his life, character and relationships. It is a considerable achievement. . . . In the course of telling us much about Nash's social and artistic world, Lambirth reanimates not only this artist but many others within the history of 20th-century landscape painting. . . . Lambirth revives Nash's stature as an artist. . . . [He] not only successfully integrates Nash's life and art, but he brings to the fore a different set of virtues from those that belonged to his more cerebral and restlessly ambitious older brother."
