Join Terry Henson, Gallery Guide, presenting a leisurely walk and talk around The Ravilious Collection with special focus on Ravilious' work during the Second World War.
In 1940, Eric Ravilious was appointed an official war artist by the War Artists' Advisory Committee headed by Kenneth Clark. During this talk, we will consider Ravilious's contribution to the war effort by discussing his war paintings, created before his untimely death in 1942.
Meet inside The Ravilious Collection.
