Presenting the Eric Ravilious Greenhouse Collection, consisting of ‘Cucumber House’, ‘The Greenhouse: Cyclamen and Tomatoes’ and ‘Geraniums and Carnations’.
These three watercolours were painted in the glass houses around West Firle in Sussex, a short walk from ‘Furlongs’, where Ravilious often stayed with Peggy Angus, and occasionally Tirzah Garwood, his wife.
Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time.
