Drawn to War brings to life a brilliant but still grossly undervalued British artist, Eric Ravilious. Caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago, his legacy largely sank without trace, until now.

Set against the dramatic locations that inspired him, Drawn to War brings to life a brilliant but still grossly undervalued British artist, Eric Ravilious. The life of the British watercolourist and wood-engraver, who died in 1942 aged 39, unfolds in his own words, through previously unseen private correspondence and rare archive film.

Featuring interviews with Alan Bennett, Grayson Perry, Robert Macfarlane and many more.
