Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War 19th October 8pm

“...Ravishing Ravilious: a visionary who celebrated England in war and peace - part of his Quintessential Englishness..."
—The Times

This vivid documentary argues that Ravilious should be as famous as Turner and Constable
Wendy Ide – – 4 stars ****

"Fascinating new light on a singularly English master"
—The Telegraph

'Veteran arts documentary director Margy Kinmonth makes an excellent argument for elevating the status of watercolourist and etcher Eric Ravilious in this lovingly crafted biographical film.' Saskia Baron –

ERIC RAVILIOUS: DRAWN TO WAR is a true story. Eric Ravilious is as compelling and enigmatic as his art. Set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspire him, Margy Kinmonth’s film brings to life this brilliant but still grossly undervalued British artist. Caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago, Ravilious’s legacy largely sank without trace, until now.
Made with the blessing of the Ravilious Estate, this first full length feature documentary about Ravilious unfolds in his own words, through previously unseen private correspondence and rare archive film.
Shot entirely on location in the UK, Portugal and Ireland, the film features Ai Weiwei, Alan Bennett, Grayson Perry, Robert Macfarlane with Freddie Fox, Tamsin Greig and many more.
