Ravilious
Coach Builders
Lithograph – mounted, unframed. Image size: 220mm x 140mm Over seventy years ago Country Life Books published High Street, a children's book of shops, featuring twenty-four exquisite lithographs by the English artist Eric Ravilious (1903-1942). Although the book was not a limited edition, the destruction of the lithographic plates during the Blitz meant that only 2000 copies were ever printed. Subsequently High Street has become one of the most highly-prized artist's books of its time.This…
Eric Ravilious & Tirzah Garwood: One Couple, Two Exhibitions
Tirzah and Eric Ravilious painting a mural at the Midland Hotel, Morecambe Artist couples are fascinating. Like the rest of us they have a public life and a private life, only the hidden world of an artist couple or family is often revealed - if only in tantalising glimpses - in correspondence, diaries and in artworks themselves. In some cases the relationship has proved inspirational to both halves of the couple, but often one artist's work tends to pushed into the background as the career…
New York World's Fair, 1939 - The British Pavilion, front cover designed by Eric Ravilious
What a wonderful piece of whimsy this is by the marvellous Eric Ravilious! The design, based on the UK's 'coat of arms', is of the front cover to the British exhibition pavilion at the 1939/40 New York World Fair held at Flushing Meadows/Corona Park. It was billed as looking forward to the future - it looks as if us Brits were happy to wallow in a good bit of stability and nostalgia!

Olivia Laing's 'To The River': Woolf, Asham, Ravilious
River Ouse, Mount Caburn in background Have just finished reading Olivia Laing's account of a midsummer ramble from the source of the River Ouse to the sea, a book I would thoroughly recommend to all thoughtful or imaginative walkers. Everywhere we go in this densely populated old country many others have been before, and traces of their existence remain in often unexpected places. History is not the preserve of academics and experts. History is all around us and inside us, and Laing…
RAVILIOUS AT DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY
Eric Ravilious, Dangerous Work at Low Tide, 1940, MOD Art Collection Having been involved with exhibitions of Ravilious watercolours at RWA Bristol, Fry Art Gallery and Towner, I was delighted when Dulwich Picture Gallery asked me to assemble a hundred paintings for an exhibition that will, I hope, give a lot of pleasure to fans new and old. Many people have discovered his work through books, prints and greetings cards over the past decade, and now they have a rare chance to enjoy favourite…
