WELCOME!
The E-BNR aims to build a comprehensive & unique cross-artform guide to
the British neo-Romantic tradition,
from 1880 to the present day.
While the British Romantics of 1789-1824 have spawned a vast industry of
publishers, conferences & tourism, the later neo-Romantic traditions
remain largely neglected. The E-BNR is aimed at bringing this hidden
tradition to light.

ENTRY: Ravilious, James
James Ravilious (22 August 1939, Eastbourne – 29 September 1999) was an English photographer.
Son of the artist Eric Ravilious.
Ravilious studied at St. Martin's School of Art in London, and then served as a teacher at Hammersmith
College for seven years. He began to photograph around 1972, taking it up seriously after he moved to
North Devon in the mid 1970s, to be 'photographer in residence' in The Beaford Centre.
He is noted for his long-term commitment to photographing English rural life, particularly
that of north Devon, making nearly 90,000 images. His body of work is often likened in historical importance to that of
Henri Cartier-Bresson.
