20th Century<br />
Eric Ravilious<br />
Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) was an English painter,<br />
wood-engraver and designer. He was born in Acton and<br />
was educated at Eastbourne School <strong>of</strong> Art and then at<br />
the Royal College <strong>of</strong> Art (1922–1925), where he was<br />
taught by Paul Nash and became close friends with<br />
Edward Bawden. He began teaching part-time at<br />
Eastbourne School <strong>of</strong> Art in 1925 and later that year<br />
was elected to the Society <strong>of</strong> Wood Engravers, having<br />
been proposed by Paul Nash. After leaving the RCA, he<br />
became a master <strong>of</strong> wood engraving and illustrated<br />
numerous books and produced patterned papers for the<br />
Curwen Press. In the 1930s he began painting larger<br />
compositions in a wider range <strong>of</strong> colour, and this led<br />
him to use lithography to illustrate High Street (1938).<br />
Later as a War Artist he produced a series <strong>of</strong> lithographs<br />
<strong>of</strong> submarines.<br />
