Totems, Old Shipyard, Rye is a 1932 by Paul Nash, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This photo shows a row of weathered wooden posts standing in a field. The posts look like old fence slats, some cracked or split, with rough, uneven surfaces. One post has a dark shape carved into it that looks like a person with arms raised. The ground is patchy with dirt and small grass clumps. The image feels eerie, like the posts are leftovers from something forgotten. They’re arranged in a loose line, as if they once held up a fence or barrier. Next, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see this work in person.
Paul Nash (11 May 1889 – 11 July 1946) was a British surrealist painter and war artist, as well as a photographer, writer and designer of applied art.
