The Creation of Trees and Herbs

Description

Light from the Darkness (1924) is Paul Nash’s visionary woodcut series, pairing biblical creation texts with stark, angular imagery. Published by Nonesuch Press, it reflects Nash’s postwar trauma, channeling chaos and renewal through abstract forms. Swirling stars, twisted trees, and jagged landscapes evoke a universe born in turmoil—an intimate, modern meditation on creation, destruction, and transformation.
