Black Dog – The Dreams of Paul Nash by Dave McKean
For one night only on May 28th, Kendal, Cumbria will host a world-premiere performance and the launch of a unique graphic novel as part of 14-18 NOW, the UK’s official arts programme for the First World War centenary.
Initiated by The Lakes International Comic Art Festival, Black Dog – The Dreams of Paul Nash is a multimedia performance and new graphic novel by illustrator, comic artist, filmmaker and musician Dave McKean. McKean explores the work of Paul Nash, one of the most important British artists of the twentieth century, whose First World War experiences inspired him to create paintings of disturbing, lasting power.
This world-premiere performance by Dave McKean and international musical collaborators will feature projections, animated illustrations, live music and narration. The limited edition graphic novel – only 300 copies printed – will be available to purchase at the event.
