Eric Ravilious
Eric Ravilious was an artist, illustrator and designer specialising in watercolour paintings of the British countryside, most famously of Sussex. Ravilious had a special connection to the area, as he grew up there and studied at the Eastbourne School of Art. He went on to study at the Royal College of Art and later became one of the most popular artists of the 1930s.
Heywood Hardy
Heywood Hardy was a British painter. Born in Chichester, Sussex. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Upon returning to England, Hardy’s work became popular and he received many commissions from the estates of his wealthy patrons. He went on to become a member of The Royal Society of Painters and Etchers, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and The Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He also worked as an illustrator for several publications, including The Illustrated London News and The Graphic Magazine. In the last years of his life, Hardy made a controversial shift from sensitive animal subjects to biblical scenes of Christ walking in the Sussex countryside. Today, his works are in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Manchester City Art Gallery, and the Bury Art Museum, among others.
Tirzah Ravilious
Tirzah was born in Gillingham, Kent. After finishing school she attended the Eastbourne School of Art from 1925-1928. It was here that she met Eric Ravilious. In 1928 she moved to London and studied at the Central School of Art. Tirzah was a skilled wood engraver; She was commissioned to produce woodcuts for Kynoch Press and the BBC. Tirzah and Eric married in 1930. In 1931 they left London and moved to rural Essex where they started a family. She gave up her art to raise their children and to support Eric with his career. Thankfully Tirzah’s work is now starting to get the recognition it deserves.
