ERIC RAVILIOUS is a great artist whose career was finally prevented by the war. But nevertheless: there is an incredible amount of information material about him.
Thank you for the wonderful reference to the film “Eric Ravilious, Drawn To War”. There is absolutely nothing I would like more than for this documentary to be released in German cinemas this coming July. I am really looking forward to it.
Love & Peace

I still have several “Puffin picture books” from, oh 67+ years ago – including the one partially shown, with the Stegosaurus on the cover (!)
Is there a chance these lectures/presentations will be recorded? Ravilious fans in Canada would love to be able to take part.
Oh, to be in England…
I love the work of Eric Ravilious!
