Eric Ravilious Postcards: ‘Eric Ravilious in Sussex’ Collection (No. 3).
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.
The ‘Eric Ravilious in Sussex Postcard Collection’ Part III consists of the following images: ‘Firle Beacon’, watercolour, 1927, ‘The Waterwheel’, watercolour, 1934, ‘The Greenhouse: Cyclamen and Tomatoes’ watercolour and pencil on paper, 1935, ‘Downs in Winter’, watercolour, 1934, ‘Cement Works’, watercolour and pencil, 1934, and ‘Floods at Lewes’, watercolour, 1935.
Each A6 postcard comes with the title, name of the artist, medium, and date printed on the reverse.
