•内容简介——

这是一本喜庆的礼品册，专门介绍备受喜爱的英国艺术家埃里克·拉维利厄斯（1903-1942 年）的作品，以及自然形式和主题对其作品的影响。

埃里克·拉维利厄斯是一位设计师、画家、版画家和插图画家，著名的作品是他的战争题材作品和英国风景画，尤其是苏塞克斯郡的南唐斯。他经常被描述为一位特别 "英国 "的艺术家，其风格的关键在于他能够用水彩画表现出英国气候的细微差别。《埃里克·拉维利厄斯：风景与自然》探讨了他对自然世界的欣赏，以及他使用各种媒介表现自然世界各种元素的技巧。

一百多幅精美图片取材于维多利亚与艾尔伯特博物馆的藏品，捕捉了拉维里斯对大自然万物的深深喜爱，从草山、猫头鹰、温室天竺葵和雪，到雨海、机场跑道水坑和潮汐海滩。本书揭示了贯穿其作品的共同主题，如天气、植物、动物和鸟类，以及拉维里斯对描绘风景中人类存在迹象的热爱，包括生锈的机器、船只和飞机，以及他著名的山坡粉笔人物插图。

虽然拉维里厄斯以水彩画闻名于世，但他在 1926 年参观了维多利亚与艾尔伯特博物馆的塞缪尔·帕尔默展览后，也受到启发，开始学习木雕。由于导师保罗·纳什（Paul Nash）的鼓励以及后来的经济压力，拉维里厄斯开始从事各种创作，从陶瓷、玻璃、家具、壁画和纺织品的设计，到书籍、小册子和海报的插图。

A joyful and celebratory gift book devoted to the work of the much-loved English artist Eric Ravilious (1903–1942) and the influence of natural forms and themes in his work.

Eric Ravilious was a designer, painter, printmaker, and illustrator best known for his war work and depictions of the English landscape, particularly the South Downs in Sussex. Often described as a particularly “English” artist, key to his style was an ability to convey in watercolor the nuances of the British climate. Eric Ravilious: Landscapes & Nature explores his appreciation of the natural world and the techniques he used in a variety of media to convey its various elements.

Drawing on the V&A’s collections, more than one hundred beautiful images capture Ravilious’s deep enjoyment of everything in nature, from grassy hills, owls, greenhouse geraniums, and snow, to rainy seas, airport-runway puddles, and tideswept beaches. This book reveals common themes running through his work, such as weather, plants, animals, and birds, as well as Ravilious’s love of depicting signs of human presence in the landscape, including rusting machinery, ships and aircraft, and his famous illustrations of hillside chalk figures.

Although best known for his watercolors, Ravilious was also inspired to learn wood engraving by seeing the V&A’s Samuel Palmer exhibition of 1926. Due to encouragement by his tutor Paul Nash and later to financial pressures, Ravilious turned his hand to a wide variety of creative work, from designs for ceramics, glass, furniture, murals, and textiles, to illustrating books, pamphlets, and posters.
