We are delighted to share this award-winning documentary film ‘Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War’ by Margy Kinmonth.
“This vivid documentary argues that Ravilious should be as famous as Turner and Constable”
Wendy Ide – THE OBSERVER – 4 stars ****
“Fascinating new light on a singularly English master”
The Telegraph
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.
