Eric Ravilious: A Major Figure in Early 20th-Century British Art This comprehensive overview of Eric Ravilious' work provides the most detailed analysis to date, covering his artistic practice across various mediums. From watercolour and illustration to printmaking, graphic design, textiles, and ceramics, this book explores Ravilious' significant contribution to the development of an English style between tradition and modernism. The book delves into Ravilious' diverse activities, including his education and formative influences, mural painting, printmaking, and illustration. It also examines his work as a leader in shaping a new style of watercolour painting during the interwar period, as well as his role as an official War Artist. With its accessible and engaging text, copiously illustrated with reproductions of his work, this book firmly positions Ravilious as a major figure in early 20th-century British art. Alan Powers' authoritative study sheds new light on Ravilious' innovative approach to decoration and historical reference, highlighting the artist's skill and sharp eye for the unusual.
