Eric Ravilious: Artist and Designer, Hardcover

More popular than ever, the work of Eric Ravilious (1903-42) is rooted in the landscape of mid-20th-century England. This new survey of his work by Alan Powers, the established authority on Ravilious, is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of his art in all media - watercolour, illustration, printmaking, graphic design, textiles, mural-painting and ceramics - and positions Ravilious firmly as a significant figure in the history of early 20th-century British art.
