Eric Ravilious (1903-1942)
Born in 1903, Ravilious was an English painter, illustrator and printmaker.
Ravilious attended the Royal College of Art, where he studied under Paul Nash. He began his working life as a muralist, first coming to notice as an artist in 1924. He went on to become one of the best-known artists of the 1930s. He was also the leading light of wood-engraving in England at that time, and undertook ceramic designs for Wedgwood. For much of his life, he lived in Eastbourne, where he is commemorated by a Blue Plaque on the wall of his childhood home.
