The Wilmington Giant, 1939 - Eric Ravilious
V&A museum
I discovered Eric Ravilious yesterday and I have to say I find his images fascinating. I love the stylistic approach to his landscapes, the strong lines and powerful use of very dark and black in line with how my landscapes are developing at the moment. I always find it exciting to discover a new artist that motivates you - and Ravilious certainly does that at the moment. The sad thing, of course, is that his images capture the 1930's and the darkening skies of the approaching war which took his life in 1942. I must find out more about this artist.
