Eric Ravilious ‘Newhaven Harbour’, colour lithograph, 1935.

This colour lithograph depicts Newhaven Harbour, a favourite spot of the artist, which he painted frequently, in peacetime and during the hostilities of World War Two. He would have known it from his youth, being brought up just along the coast at Eastbourne, but was also a frequent visitor as an adult when staying with Peggy Angus, whose house, ‘Furlongs‘ lay upstream of the river Ouse, which reaches the coast here.

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.
