Eric Ravilious Caravans Print.

Watercolour and pencil on paper. These caravans served as a bedroom and studio for the artist and his wife, Tirzah. They were originally used as medical caravans in the Boer war, to treat those suffering from fevers. They were shipped of from South Africa, landing at Newhaven, just over the hill from Peggy Angus’ house Furlongs, where they came to rest. It’s a fair old trundle, door to door, and who ever transported them on the final leg of their journey must have had an interesting time of it.

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time, particularly in the first two decades of the 21st century.
