Eric Ravilious - Artist at War

(29 May - 7 November)
Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) was born in Eastbourne and trained at the Royal College of Art before becoming one of the most respected and admired artists of his era. This exhibition explores his thought-provoking work between the years of 1939 when he was commissioned as a War Artist and 1942 when he tragically died whilst on active service in Iceland.
