#BeyondRavilious: A Friday extra... I’m glad many of you liked the thread about Eric’s son, James Ravilious’ photographs. One thing I see in them is the recurring use of Vanishing Points, which draw you in, they give depth, on so many levels really. Here’s a few examples. 
#BeyondRavilious: James Ravilious’ Vanishing Points... A Devon Cattle Market.
#BeyondRavilious: James Ravilious’ Vanishing Points... Drainage work in a Devon field
#BeyondRavilious: James Ravilious was Eric and Tirzah’s son, born in Eastbourne in August 1939 just before his father went to war. He studied at St Martin’s School of Art & in 1970 moved to Devon where he began to photograph a disappearing rural life. He died in 1999. [thread]
#BeyondRavilious: In my view James Ravilious captured people in their environment in the same way his father captured landscape. This Devon farmer in a rural lane with his sheep is a good example. More on James at jamesravilious.com
#BeyondRavilious: I also think he was superb in making the ordinary extraordinary like this image of a rural Devon farmhouse in the 1970s. More on James at jamesravilious.com
#BeyondRavilious: Tirzah Garwood, was Eric Ravilious’ wife. They met when she was a student at Eastbourne College, married Eric in 1930 & a dozen years later was a war widow. Her work continued, and she deserves to be better known. [thread]
#BeyondRavilious: Tirzah Garwood was a hugely talented artist, who worked in several different mediums. Her own vision of inter-war Britain largely through her wood-cuts is an important landmark in the art of this period. These examples are in the collection of @FryArtGallery.
#BeyondRavilious: Tirzah Garwood painted, too. In many ways, like Eric, although a different style, they portray Britain in an equally gentle but impactful way. She deserves an exhibition of her own really. Her art appears to be largely in private collections or @TownerGallery.
