Product description

Review

We're great fans of the English watercolourist Eric Ravilious here at Stella. So we were thrilled to see the beautiful new book `Ravilious in Pictures'. --Stella, Sunday Telegraph, December 2009

Ravilious's watercolour landscapes of the South Downs were painted mainly in the second half of the 1930s, and are beautifully reproduced here alongside insightful essays from the social historian James Russell. --London Review of Books, January 2010

Each [watercolour] is accompanied by a short essay in which James Russell cleverly mixes history and biographical detail. Thus in the text on `The Wilmington Giant' (1939), we learn about the possible meanings of the great carved figure, the increasing public interest in archaeology inspired by discoveries such as Tutankhamun's tomb and the Sutton Hoo burial site, the invention of barbed wire, and a chance meeting Ravilious had with the owner of the Giant on a train in 1941... The next volume from Mainstone Press is eagerly awaited. --Sarah Drury, The Art Book, August 2010

Containing 22 full-page colour plates, the book dwells on Sussex and the South Downs, which remained an inspiration for the artist. James Russell's writing has the clarity and concision of the paintings, and is both properly informative and enjoyably readable... Glorious.
--Andrew Lambirth, The Art Newspaper, September 2010

    James Russell is an art historian and curator specialising in Modern and Contemporary art and design. His recent exhibitions include 'Seafaring' (Hastings Contemporary, 2022), 'Extraordinary Everyday: The Art & Design of Eric Ravilious' (Arc Winchester, 2022) 'Reflection: British Art in an Age of Change' (Ferens Art Gallery, 2019-20), 'Edward Bawden' at Dulwich Picture Gallery and 'In Relation: 9 Couples who Transformed Modern British Art' at RWA Bristol (both 2018), 'Ravilious' (Dulwich 2015) and 'Peggy Angus: Designer, Teacher, Painter' (Towner, 2014, co-curator with Sara Cooper).

    His four-volume series 'Ravilious in Pictures' (Mainstone Press) celebrates the life and work of English designer, printmaker and watercolourist Eric Ravilious (1903-42), exploring the stories and characters concealed behind his mesmerizing paintings. 'The Lost Watercolours of Edward Bawden' (Mainstone Press) was a 2016 Sunday Times Book of the Year.

    He has also written books on Paul Nash, Peggy Angus, Edward Seago and David Remfry, always endeavouring to write in plain English and to explore the artist's life as much as their work.

    James has travelled far and wide both to research the books and to give talks on the subject, and has enjoyed every minute; you can find descriptions of his travels, photos and other fascinating stuff on his blog, jamesrussellontheweb.blogspot.com.
