One of the finest depictions of the #Caburn / #MountCaburn #hillfort #EastSussex is also by one of our favourite artists, Eric Ravilious, a view from his studio in 1935 which, minus the horse-drawn ploughs, is as just as familiar today 🤩
#HillfortsWednesday #Ravilious
Newt Pond, Eric Ravilious, 1932. Depicting a scene at Great Bardfield in #Essex. After being sold to a private collection at @ChristiesInc some years ago, it is now on loan to @TownerGallery.
#BeyondRavilious: Tirzah Garwood painted, too. In many ways, like Eric, although a different style, they portray Britain in an equally gentle but impactful way. She deserves an exhibition of her own really. Her art appears to be largely in private collections or @TownerGallery.
Four hill figures by Ravilious. Top left to bottom left: The Long Man of Wilmington, The Cerna Abbas Giant, The Westbury Horse, and The Vale of the White Horse. All watercolour, all 1939.
The Cement Pit, Eric Ravilious, 1934. One of two cements pits near Furlongs, Glynde, East #Sussex. The original artwork is in a private collection.
Two Women in A Garden, Eric Ravilious, 1932. Painted at Brick House, Great Bardfield in #Essex, it depicts Tirzah Garwood, Eric’s wife, and Charlotte Bawden, who was married to artist Edward Bawden. The original artwork is in the collection of @FryArtGallery.

Buoys and Grappling Hook, Eric Ravilious, 1933. The original artwork was sold at @ChristiesInc in 2016 and is believed to be in a private collection.
Love Eric Ravilious. Also love the magical realist paintings by his wife, Tirzah Garwood, who has been overlooked for far too long https://t.co/s2RilFvCBN
Bathing Machines, Eric Ravilious, 1938. Aldeburgh beach in #Suffolk. The first painting is @TownerGallery,
the others are in private collections. #heatwave #beach #art
Twitter, meet Tirzah Garwood. Her Wikipedia page features an artwork by her husband, Eric Ravilious, rather than one of these magical realist paintings by her 🌸
