Talk - Eric Ravilious.   David Haycock

David is an author and Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University.  The talk will focus on Ravilious’ watercolours, but also with reference to his work as a muralist, designer for ceramics and a wood engraver. Ravilious has emerged in recent decades to become one of the best-loved English artists of the 20th century, admired for his idiosyncratic views of the English countryside, and his merging of the modern with the traditional.
