EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a modern boarding house in cross section, as beautifully rendered in a mural painted by Eric Ravilious at Morley College in London during the year 1930. The mural, a gift to the college from the renowned philanthropist Sir Joseph Duveen, showcases Ravilious' exceptional artistic talent and his keen observation of everyday life. The intricately detailed panel illustrates the communal living spaces and private quarters of the boarding house, with each room revealing the diverse lives of its lodgers. The ground floor is filled with a bustling social scene, as residents gather in the common room, cook in the kitchen, and engage in various activities. The upper floors reveal more intimate spaces, where individuals retreat to their personal quarters for rest and reflection. Ravilious masterfully captures the essence of boarding house life, with its unique blend of shared experiences and individual privacy. His use of warm colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting viewers into the vibrant world of Morley College's community of working men and women. The mural, now a cherished piece of British art history, stands as a testament to Ravilious' artistic vision and Sir Joseph Duveen's generosity towards young British artists. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at the social and living conditions of the time, while also showcasing the timeless appeal of Ravilious' artistry.
