The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) is now firmly one of the most popular artists of his period. This book contains illustrations of many previously unpublished paintings, including a number from private collections, as well as surveying his other artistic activities. The text draws on many letters and other documents, again previously unpublished, and provides a comprehensive account of Ravilious’s career. It also attempts to position Ravilious in relation to English art of his time, and more recent critical and cultural issues.
