One would guess they were painted during parties or over weekends. Bawden and Ravilious moved into inCycling around the area they came across Brick House, where they rented rooms from Mrs Kinnear, a retired ship-stewardess, for weekends away from London. Brick House is an early 18th Century red brick house with two floors and windowed attics. The property had two staircases, so when the house was rented it was divided into two parts with a shared kitchen and scullery. Mrs Kinnear rented rooms but lived her with two daughters and her dog. The first picture here, by Eric Ravilious is painted from the top of Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious house. At this time the roof was being repaired and retiled as it was in poor condition after purchase. The picture below by Bawden shows the roof being repaired by Elisha Parker and Eric Townsend and their ladder to the roof. Even though the house was sold, Mrs Kinnear the old landlady had left all her possessions in the building while she took up a Housekeeper post in the New Forest. While the roof was repaired Charlotte Bawden cleaned and fumigated the rooms prior to them being decorated. You can see the foundations being installed in the picture above with Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious around and upturned earth They dreamt not of a perishable home…. It is my feeling that the picture below by Charles Mahoney was painted inlikely just after the roof was completed. It is part of the collection of the Royal Academy and they date it as s, likely because the missing trellis. Also the shed beside the trellis was lost in the war Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious replaced by one with a different roof axis. But mostly because it looks so much like the painting above. You can see the completed trellis in the picture by Ravilious below. Later on as motorcars became popular the gates would divide the house from the driveway. The brougham cart in the picture below was a purchase by Charlotte Bawden who bought it mostly because she thought the wheels were so valuable. Tom Ives the farmer from Ives Farm at the end of their Garden was selling it, and for some years Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious was kept under the trellis. On the top of the trellis building is a wooden carved soldier made by Eric Townsend, the arms moved in the wind to Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious birds on the farms. The picture below is of a Snowstorm by Bawden, he has scratched the paper to give the effect of snow blowing on the wind in all directions as it falls. The view is from the window in his Studio that looked almost right down the drain pipe. The carriage likely sold or scrapped by that point. In the Country Life Cookbook had wood engravings inside, designed by Eric Ravilious and it featured a small wood engraving of the Brick House garden and the trellis again. This painting has a guessed age of cs, I would again say it is likely mid-to-late s as the toy soldier is still on top of the trellis. What an amazing name! During the Second World War Edward was touring the world painting as an official , Charlotte was in Cheltenham teaching and potting at Winchcombe, and their two children Richard and Joanna were at private schools in the Cotswolds. As the Brick House was empty it was used, and abused by the Home Guard and local officials as a headquarters. The house was the only building in Great Bardfield to suffer bomb damage. Many villages in the East of were bombed, not as planned targets, but mostly from German bombers trying to dispel leftover bombs after failed bombing raids on airfields, factories or Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious.

John Aldridge had moved to Great Bardfield with Lucie Brown nee Saunders and the couple Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious in sin until in John married her when he signed up to join the war effort. The last Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious of Brick House is this snow scene by Edward in Richard and Joanna are on a sledge and the roofs are covered with snow as is the ground making the red bricks bolder in colour. Beryl Sinclair is one Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious those names that I love to find. Born inBeryl Bowker was the daughter of the Dr. She lived with her mother and father in Combe Park, Bath. At the RCA she was known as Bowk. They were living at Gloucester Place, London. Essentially set up as a radically left political organisation, the AIA embraced all styles of art both modernist and traditional, but the core committee preferenced realism. It held a series of large group exhibitions on political and social themes beginning in with an exhibition entitled Artists Against Fascism and War. The Association was also involved in the settling of artists displaced by the Nazi regime in Germany. Many of those linked with the Association, such as Duncan Grant were also pacifists. The membership of the club was international, and there were sections in France, Greece, Holland, Italy and the United States. The paintings are touring Essex. They have already been to Maldon, Colchester, and Braintree. During the war she was commissioned by Sir Kenneth Clark to execute paintings for the Civil Service canteen. She also contributed to the Cambridge Pictures for Schools scheme. This is just a short little post. It looks at a familiar theme I have found in the work of Eric Ravilious, repetition. But in this case it is because both works in Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious post were inspired by the same location. Ravilious based them on the Manor Gardens at , and treated the panels as a continuous Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious. Above you can see the mounted hill with steps. Below you can see it in the wood-engraving, then how it looks today. Some time ago I was looking at all the Ravilious wood engravings and their links to each other for a book called Ravilious Recycled. It was not used on the Country Walks books. Guy and Evelyn Hepher. The first time that Eric called at their large Georgian vicarage, he found the vicar having a bonfire of the temperance hymn books inherited from his predecessor — an activity that Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious certainly approved of. The vicarage was too large and uncomfortable to be easily run, but it afforded a refuge to the Raviliouses one very cold Christmas when all their pipes had frozen up. Ravilious would go on to use Castle Hedingham for inspiration, as can be found in the Vicarage in Winter watercolour, started in the Winter of This watercolour takes us back to the Green Line illustrations and in Ravilious used the cottage to the right in Vicarage in Winter for one of his wood-engravings for London Transport. According to Barry Kitts. The Vicarage can be seen from behind with the same greenhouse as in the painting still standing today. The block shows a woman cutting the hedge by the path leading up to a V shaped style stile. It is the shape of the wall to the left of the engraving and the hedge in Vicarage in Winter that bind them together as the same location. Looking at the watercolour Vicarage In Winter I just went to about the same view point and found it on a village footpath. The photograph below shows the same stepped wall. The house Pottery Cottage has had a lot of work and is just recognisable. If Vicarage In Winter were painted today it would be covered in various states of mid century architecture.

The problem with book publishing is the rights to images and the expense of paying various people for them, thankfully the internet has a different code of conduct so when I make these posts, I can use pictures that have been lost, even from the world of Pintrest. I try hard to find as many relevant images as I can per topic. I say because someone suggested it was an easy blog to write, but the art of it is the research Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious quotes and images and though a Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious ploughed before this post Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious a while to compile. There is a lot on Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious Ravilious in Newhaven in print but very Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious on and his feelings of the town other than a few letters back and forth. I start with how both Edward and Eric came to be in Newhaven. But the dates of the Bawden pictures are all over the place as he made visits to Newhaven alone apparently without Eric. Ravilious grew up in Sussex, in Eastbourne, where his parents had an antiques shop, studying first at the Eastbourne School of Art and then the Royal College of Artwhere he met his life-long friend Edward Bawden. At this time in Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious lives they were living and painting together with their wives in Brick House, Great Bardfield, they were using the local area of Essex as a source of work but they both wanted some variety. In the summer of the pair went out to scout painting locations for trips. Newhaven was distinguished by a distinctive breakwater and seawall with lighthouses perched at each end. As in a previous postI mentioned that for Ravilious, Sussex was convenient as a location, as he was lodging in two old caravans at Furlongs. They lodged at the Hope Inn, a pub on the side of the cliffs and with a sea view on the edge of the town. The works Bawden were painting was rather playful and modern, a Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious of odd perspectives seamed to challenge him, the boat at a strange angle, looking down a hillside and the litter of boats and yardware made for a really interesting series of works. Directly Eric got to Newhaven, a terrific storm blew up, the worst for years. Below are a few views form old photographs and postcards of Newhaven around the same time and showing the things Eric painted below. These photographs above have various views around the watercolour, lithograph and woodcut below. It would show Ravilious again using and cycling the same subject matter for various commissions. She was known as Bowk. Newhaven Harbour is everything you would want from a s watercolour. The buildings look like Oliver Hall modernist houses in white with cubes and curves Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious in fact is Victorian. Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious looks like a stage set design. The rigging and black circles where part of a semaphore signal that shows when the tide is in and out to boats wanting to enter or leave the harbour. Staying at The Hope Inn in must have been a bit dull. Eric Neve K. He said this was a desire to improve the accommodation of the existing house. Meals and service have brightened; gone are those Diary: Illustrations by Eric Ravilious, stale oyster-eyed eggs and there is is less water and more gravy with the meat. White and modernist.
