Not a lot of the detail went in, but it was nice to know more about an artist who is having a bit of a moment. I'm one of the herd, with a Ravilious calendar on my left and a print of his 'Chalk Figure near Weymouth' on my right. It was nice to read about a bohemian group and their lifestyle between the wars, a gentler England of train journeys, tumbledown cottages and telegrams. It would have been lovely to have been well-connected, well-educated and independently wealthy in those days, but then again I guess that's true of any era.
