Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious: Design, by Brian Webb and Peyton Skipwith, published 28 May 2014 (2nd revised edition, 64 pp., Antique Collectors' Club, ISBN-10: 1851495002 & ISBN-13: 9781851495009) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries
Abstract:An excellent introduction to the work of two British designers Edward Bawden (1903-1989) and Eric Ravilious (1903-1942). This fascinating book illustrates every aspect of their creativity, featuring designs for wallpaper, posters, book jackets, trade cards and Wedgwood ceramics, to name but a few. "Design" opens with an informed and engaging essay by Peyton Skipwith, who, from the late 1960s, acted as Edward Bawden's principal dealer. Bawden and Ravilious both attended the Design School of the Royal College of Art. It was here that they met and started to experiment with print-making - marking the beginning of an extremely creative but tragically short-lived friendship. Ravilious was killed at the age of thirty-nine in an air-sea rescue mission during the Second World War; and Edward Bawden survived him by forty-six years. "Design" contains over 150 illustrations, many from original artworks, and work not before reproduced.
