British wood engraver and watercolour artist Eric Ravilious is deeply connected to the V&A - from his early years training at the Royal College of Art, the career-long inspiration he gained from studying the diverse collections, through to his granddaughter, Ella, who works as a curator at the museum.
In this film, Ella takes us on a personal journey through Eric's life, exploring the techniques he learnt and mastered, his influential creative connections, the artists and designers he admired and studied, his favourite subjects to depict, the landscapes he loved and the adventures he had as an official war artist in World War II.

This irresistible documentary is definitely enriched by our narrator's familial connection with the artist and his milieu--I hope Ella will author a biography--but it also provides a very helpful tracing of the artistic networks in which he moved and worked. I'm deeply grateful for the care and thought that went into its production!

What a wonderful artist & documentary! Eric Ravilious' work is instantly recognizable. He is not much known here in the U.S., unfortunately. I guess there needs to be bio-pic, then more people will learn. He did so much more work than could be shown here. His granddaughter is the perfect person to introduce ER to a wider audience. Thanks so much for posting this, V & A!

I really enjoy his early works with woodcuts --- they have a kind of German Expressionist feeling about them. Like the backgrounds in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. I also like his later works from the field as a war artist. He works well with a quick hand.

Thank you for this introduction to this wonderful artist. At 22:39 in the landscape painting, is it just me, or does it look like he has included a large floating stone, maybe on it's way to a stone circle? Alfred Watkins book The Old Straight Track was published in 1925. He thought that chalk hill figure represented an ancient surveyor holding it's sighting rods.

Brilliant! I first saw Eric Ravilious's work over 50 years ago and have loved it ever since. He was a big influence on my own print making along with Edward Bawden and Paul Nash. The first children's books I read were illustrated with prints, largely woodcuts, which from a very early age I fell in love with.

Excellent. There are many echoes of the career of Charles Tunnicliffe, the wildlife artist. He was two years older than Eric. I wonder if their paths crossed at the RCA. Both were superlative etchers and book illustrators.

Great information, and from what I could tell, lovely images. But the jerking, flipping, quick-shifting images gave me a blinding headache. Perhaps you need to include a warning at the beginning of this type of film. Flashing lights don’t bother me, but this really did.

Why does this history of an artist show the contact sheets displaying Ilford HP5 as the film type? Ilford HP was produced in the 1930‘s - HP5 was not introduced until 1976. This invalidates the time line of the photos and is poor historical story telling. The V & A is a high budget museum with a great collection, were are your video proof readers.

Come now, it is 'Artist in focus', delivered with a special excitement and pride that evidently comes from being granddaughter to the artist and familiar with his works from earliest life. That was the vivifying interest, a professional life in the museum that circles back to the artist's works, training, and too short life. If you want to study the works in digital form, they are easily found, ponder them as long as you like.
