Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War is a compelling documentary by filmmaker Margy Kinmonth that explores the life and work of one of Britain’s most distinctive landscape artists. Appointed as an Official War Artist during the Second World War, Ravilious captured both the beauty and uncertainty of wartime Britain through his unique artistic vision. The film follows his remarkable career, the dramatic locations that inspired his work, and the tragic circumstances of his death in a plane crash in 1942. Combining stunning imagery, archival material and expert commentary, this acclaimed film shines a light on an artist whose work was long overlooked but is now receiving the recognition it deserves.
