The England of Eric Ravilious


Description

Eric Ravilious (1903-42) was killed in 1942, at the age of thirty-nine, while in Iceland in his capacity as Official War Artist. In his short working life he figured among a group of exceptionally gifted artists, including Edward Bawden and John Nash, who came into prominence just before World War II. He achieved considerable success with his design work in a variety of fields, and is acknowledged to be one of the great English wood-engravers. But his watercolors remained relatively unknown until the publication of this book, which is ironic when one considers that Ravilious himself felt that his most serious work was landscape painting in watercolor. In these watercolors, Ravilious's England reveals itself as an England of rolling downland, quiet lanes, country gardens, greenhouses and farmhouse interiors, but the apparent calm and still beauty of the countryside are threatened by the storm clouds of an imminent war. The tensions inherent in this situation underly Ravilious's distinctive paintings. The England of Eric Ravilious is being republished to commemorate the centenary of the artist's birth.
