As part of the Barnsley's Radical Collector exhibition each week we're encouraging you to spend some time with a piece of artwork from the exhibition
'Dead Tree' by Paul Nash
This painting using ink and gouache focusses upon a large, bare tree placed in the centre of the composition. It is surrounded by a thriving landscape of fields and trees. Paul Nash was a highly influential figure in the history of modernism in British art. He joined the London Group in 1914 and was a member of the New English Art Club. In 1933 he founded Unit One which was a group of avant-garde artists. Nash served in the Artist's Rifles from 1914-17 and produced very few drawings but it is believed that this painting dates from this period. He was appointed an official war artist from 1940-45. Nash's paintings such as this one have often been interpreted as representing the desolation of war.

'Mont St. Michel' by D S MacColl

MacColl was an artist, art critic and curator. He was Keeper of the Tate Gallery and the Wallace Collection as well as being a member of the New English Art Club. MacColl and Sadler became friends when they both attended Oxford as students. MacColl encouraged the founding of the National Art Collections Fund (now the Art Fund) as a way to support museums and galleries across the United Kingdom.
