Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers & Valuers: auctioneers of art, pictures, collectables and motor cars

Last weekend I was in Eastbourne, where I attended the opening of 'Familiar Visions' and gave a talk on Eric Ravilious and the Sussex Downs. The show, of watercolours and woodcuts by Eric Ravilious and photographs by his son James, is beautiful. In part it's a celebration of two fascinating areas of England - Downland Sussex and North Devon - and in part an opportunity to view the work of two related artists. James photographed people, whereas Eric tended to leave them out of his paintings…

Meg So, a while back, a facebook friend, the writer Meg Pokrass, invited me to be a visiting editor on Fictionaut, the online writers' hub and forum she helped to create. I had a very enjoyable week or so, reading all the poems and stories that were uploaded - with a brief to pick the ones that struck me as fascinating/good/well done as opposed to those which had the most likes and comments from the members... an interesting ask, yes? And very important, I felt, to acknowledge that bias that…

I am so pleased with the cards I bought at the current Wet Paint Gallery Exhibition - Bawden, Gill and Ravilious, I am going to frame them.

This one above is 'The Waterwheel', a watercolour painted unsure when. I left the card in it's Cellophane wrapper and it says 'Wedgewood Museum' at the top. This is entitled 'Garden Implements'…

I write in a personal, entertaining way about 20th century British artists, including Ravilious & Paul Nash, & about the places that inspired them.

Eric Ravilious, Halstead Road in Snow, 1935 (private collection) Tyre tracks disappear down a snow-covered lane, beside an elegant Georgian house, as if the people who made them were here just a moment ago. We are in Castle Hedingham, at the junction of Queen Street and Sheepcot Road – also known as Halstead Road – and snow is falling, large flakes covering the picture surface and pulling the eye this way and that. Ravilious was fascinated by winter, relishing the light and colours peculiar…

I recently visited the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne, which opened on April 4th after relocating to a wonderful new building designed by Rick Mather Architects, having outgrown their original building. It’s well worth a visit. In the main space they’re currently exhibiting work by Ivan Navarro – sinister anthropomorphic neon relief sculptures, based on […]
