A vivid portrait of the enigmatic artist and his gifted wife.
Both have been featured in prominent exhibitions at Dulwich Art Gallery which showed the thematic similarities, shared interests, and distinct artistic personalities of this remarkable creative couple.
During his short life Eric Ravilious was acknowledged as a brilliant wood engraver, designer of ceramics and lithographer, and today his designs and illustrations are widely available once more, on china, cards and stationery.
Best known until now as the wife of Eric Ravilious, Garwood excelled as a fine artist and printmaker who carved fairy tales out of difficult times, and breathed life into the inanimate.

THE ARTS SOCIETY ACCREDITED LECTURER
Mr James Russell
Having studied History at Pembroke College, Cambridge, James Russell enjoyed a lengthy stint selling contemporary paintings and sculpture in Santa Fe, New Mexico, an experience that inspired him to begin writing and lecturing on 20th century art. Of his dozen or so books, one was a Sunday Times book of the year, while his writing has been described by critics as 'insightful', 'informative' and 'enjoyably readable'. James has curated major exhibitions at Dulwich Picture Gallery and for museums around the country. He bases his lectures on wide-ranging original research into the subjects that fascinate him.
