A tribute to the work of British artist Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) & with it so many other things in the natural world around us.

#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 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] ImageImage #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 Image

Today is #VEDay when we remember the end of the war in Europe. Eric Ravilious never survived to see that Peace, & for his wife Tirzah, it left her a widow. War always means Lost Lives, unfulfilled paths, but Ravilious left behind such a legacy, so let’s see some of it from #WW2 At the beginning of #WW2 Eric Ravilious joined the Royal Observer Corps whose job it was to spot for enemy planes & had a vital role in the Battle of Britain. He painted this Observer’s Post in 1939. Original in @higginsbedford collection.
