Description

Delve into the captivating world of British inter-war artists and designers in this masterful biography centred on Eric Ravilious. This enthralling narrative weaves together tales of creative brilliance, camaraderie, and tragedy, offering a fresh perspective on a pivotal era in British art.

Eric Ravilious has recently emerged as a towering figure in 20th-century British art, renowned for his evocative watercolours and wood engravings that capture the essence of mid-century England. However, this book reveals that Ravilious was far from a solitary genius. Instead, he was part of a vibrant network of artists, friends, and lovers, all influenced by Paul Nash's tutelage at the Royal College of Art. This circle included luminaries such as Edward Bawden, Barnett Freedman, Enid Marx, Tirzah Garwood, Percy Horton, Peggy Angus, and Helen Binyon.

The Ravilious group deftly bridged the divide between fine art and design, their work embodying a gentle, locally-rooted yet spirited character that came to epitomise contemporary British values. Andy Friend's meticulous research brings to light the intricate web of relationships that shaped these artists, from their student days through to the Second World War.

Ravilious & Co. offers a compelling exploration of artistic cross-pollination, shedding new light on the often-overlooked contributions of women artists to British art history. Lavishly illustrated and drawing upon a wealth of newly unearthed material, this book presents an enthralling chronicle of creative achievement, joy, and tragedy that will captivate art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
