Ravilious through the eyes of his contemporaries
2025
Books
The work of Eric Ravilious is more popular than ever, but how much do we know about the artist himself? Our view of him may be shaped mainly by our familiarity with his evocative watercolours of the pre-war English landscape and by our knowledge that he died at a tragically young age in 1942. Before Ravilious earned the sad distinction of becoming the first artist to be killed on active service during the Second World War, his thirty-nine years were filled with a prolific career encompassing painting, illustration and design, and with enduring friendships and critical acclaim. This book brings together more than thirty writings about Ravilious - some never before published - by those who knew him best and a wider circle of acquaintances and admirers.
