Various works by British artist, designer and illustrator Eric Ravilious.

Last night I went to Eye Magazines Type Tuesday event about Ravilious (1903-1942) at St.Brides, it was really interesting to learn more about an artist I have always admired and been interested in. The talk was given by James Russell who is the curator of the upcoming Ravilious exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery (from 1 April -31 August), which I’m looking forward to attending. It will definitely be worth going to if you get the chance, I’ve not seen much of his work in person so It will be great to get a feel for the real things, especially since colour and texture are such key aspects of his work.

If you are interested in Ravilious I also highly recommend this 45 minute BBC radio documentary about his life: ‘Eric Ravilious: Chalk and Ice’. It’s a really good piece of radio and a very interesting story.
