ERIC RAVILIOUS: LANDSCAPES AND NATURE (HB)

Eric Ravilious was a designer, painter, printmaker and illustrator best known for his depictions of the English landscape, particularly the South Downs. Drawing on the V&A’s collections, over 100 beautiful images in this book capture Ravilious’s deep enjoyment of everything in nature, from dewponds, cockerels, grassy hills, owls, greenhouse geraniums, corn sheaves and snow, to the rainy seas, airport-runway puddles and tideswept beaches of his later work as a war artist. The book includes sections on weather, plants, landscape, animals and birds, and the effect of people in the landscape.
