Film Screening: Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War (PG)

Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) was a British painter, illustrator and designer who specialised in watercolours of the English countryside. Join us for a film screening of Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War (PG) and discover the life and works of the artist whose work is currently featured in our exhibition, Landscape and Imagination: From Gardens to Land Art.

Shot entirely on location in the UK, Portugal and Ireland, the film features Ai Weiwei, Alan Bennett, Grayson Perry, Robert Macfarlane with Freddie Fox, Tamsin Greig and many more. Made with the blessing of the Ravilious Estate, this first full-length feature documentary about Ravilious unfolds in his own words, through previously unseen private correspondence and rare archive film.

‘The film makes a case that Ravilious should be regarded, alongside the likes of Turner and Constable, as one of Britain’s great landscape artists.’ Wendy Ide, The Guardian
