An in-depth analysis and attempt to reposition Eric Ravilious within the history of twentieth-century British Art through a study of his watercolours, a medium often under-rated by art historians and traditionally regarded as secondary to oils. This essay accompanied a gazetteer to all the Ravilious watercolours in public collections at home and abroad and was the first to draw attention to his desire to marry the English watercolour tradition with a taut, modernist sense of design and a brittle disquiet. His art is show to be not only deft and decoratively astute, but also engaged in a succinct expression of some of the anxieties and issues of the inter-war period.
