Description
Discover the art of much-loved British designer, engraver, and illustrator Eric Ravilious (1903-42), whose work was hugely influential in the 1930s and more popular and collectable than ever. An informative introductory chapter explores the artist’s life, influences and wide-ranging media – from designs for print to ceramics. Showcasing over 100 of Ravilious’s works, themed chapters illustrate his lyrical landscapes and interiors, monochrome wood engravings, iconic illustrations for ‘High Street’ in 1938, and his role as an artist during the Second World War before his untimely death while on active service. The full-page illustrations include ‘The River Thames at Hammersmith’, 1933; ‘Train Landscape’, 1939; ‘Church Under a Hill’, 1927; ‘Amusement Arcade’, 1938; ‘Coastal Defences’, 1940; and ‘Morning on the Tarmac’, 1941. Perfectly suited for fans, this book offers informative captions and high-quality matte paper for an immersive exploration of Ravilious's masterpieces.

I have only recently discovered Eric Ravilious and this is a lovely introduction to him and his work. It gives you an overview of a lot of his work and inspires you to dig deeper. It's made me want to get prints of some of his work to put up at home - I just don't know which ones to buy though!
