Often described as a particularly \"English\" artist, key to his style was an ability to convey in watercolor the nuances of the British climate. \u003cem\u003eEric Ravilious: Landscapes \u0026amp; Nature\u003c\/em\u003e explores his appreciation of the natural world and the techniques he used in a variety of media to convey its various elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the V\u0026amp;A's collections, more than one hundred beautiful images capture Ravilious's deep enjoyment of everything in nature, from grassy hills, owls, greenhouse geraniums, and snow, to rainy seas, airport-runway puddles, and tideswept beaches. This book reveals common themes running through his work, such as weather, plants, animals, and birds, as well as Ravilious's love of depicting signs of human presence in the landscape, including rusting machinery, ships and aircraft, and his famous illustrations of hillside chalk figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough best known for his watercolors, Ravilious was also inspired to learn wood engraving by seeing the V\u0026amp;A's Samuel Palmer exhibition of 1926. Due to encouragement by his tutor Paul Nash and later to financial pressures, Ravilious turned his hand to a wide variety of creative work, from designs for ceramics, glass, furniture, murals, and textiles, to illustrating books, pamphlets, and posters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.6 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765157101856,"sku":"9780500480786","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/c06b6130f55384e737227c6431c67848.webp?v=1780262846","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/eric-ravilious-landscapes-nature-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
