Promo track: Landscape from a Dream (Cabinet Voyages) as featured on Cerys on 6.
The Kingdom of Paul Nash is a “graphic novel ballad”, a fable, a celebration of love, chance, and surrealism.
Live score and foley by the Cabinet of Living Cinema.
Illustrations by James Edwards and animation by Tom Brown.
Inspired by the paintings and life of Paul Nash and Eileen Agar.
“Mesmerising, dream-like, and wonderfully illustrated and animated, The Cabinet of Living Cinema’s second “graphic novel ballad” touches upon Nash’s experiences on the Western Front during the First World War as well as his affair with the artist Eileen Agar in Dorset during the Thirties. Rich in symbolism and metaphor, it also benefits from a lilting, intense score with wistful folk songs, dramatising elemental aspects of Dorset’s landscape and, of course, the love affair itself. Beautiful”. Alastair Sooke, Art critic, The Daily Telegraph.
Touring England, Wales and Scotland.
70 years after Nash’s death in Boscombe, 1946, The Kingdom of Paul Nash brings together graphic novel artists with musicians from the Cabinet of Living Cinema and Dorset folk musicians to trace his journey to a new artistic vision, inspired by the intense relationship he had with fellow surrealist, Eileen Agar, whilst living in Purbeck.
