Description

Eric Ravilious & Co. is a dynamic tale of art and friendship, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world. The story of this beloved artist is also a biography of the group of fellow creators with whom he associated, men and women who inspired, challenged, and influenced one another. Drawing on extensive research, Andy Friend explores the predecessors in the English watercolor and wood-engraving tradition that influenced the group's art. The book sheds light on the often-neglected role of women artists within this interwar-era network, revealing the significance of their contributions to the group's work. Published to coincide with the seventy-fifth anniversary of Ravilious's death, this book accompanies an exhibition of the same name, touring throughout England in 2017.
