  Graham Sutherland Prints - Graham Sutherland - Printmaker by Rigby Graham
Sutherland started as an engraver working in drypoint and in etching, influenced early on by the example of Whistler and Meryon, and later that of Rembrandt and Palmer.
In 1976 Eleonora and Valter Rossi suggested to Sutherland that he might care to try colour aquatints and he became fascinated as he began to uncover the possibilities within that process with their help and guidance in Menton.
As in all his printmaking Sutherland’s understanding of what a process can offer and his grasp of the different techniques involved in etching, aquatint and in lithography shown in his autographic prints here in Uppingham have contributed greatly to the quality and flavour of each final image.

The 1920s saw a brilliant series of Sutherland neo-romantic etchings, echoing back a century to Blake and Palmer, versed in the pastoral bucolic tradition of stone-built village cottages, rural husbandry and the like, but each also thoroughly imbued with an individual Sutherland quality, often investigating the limits of geometrical form.
Sutherland first explored the Upper Cleddau in the mid 1940s, when he also met the owner of Picton Castle, Johnny (Sir John Phillipps) then living only in a wing of the castle.
The Graham Sutherland Gallery was not to open until June 1976, but the interim allowed the artist both to gather together works from his oeuvre as an endowment and also to paint a number of large and magisterial canvasses for its walls.

Sutherland always discovered an emotional intensity in his relationship with his subject, whether painting a twisted tree root from the Welsh countryside or the victorious Winston Churchill, and always allowed it to influence the final appearance of the work.
Sutherland’s career was interrupted at the end of the Thirties by the advent of war, but he was saved from the munitions factory, for which he had already volunteered, by Kenneth Clark.
At the end of the war, Sutherland made his first trip to the South of France, and the celebratory colours of the landscapes painted there show a clear excitement about this new countryside, and a sense of relief at the end of the urban destruction of war.

Graham Sutherland was never an artist to reject a fresh challenge.
Sutherland's image of an implacable lion links directly back to Blake's bewildered-looking Tyger, for example, though its dun colours and dazed expression also make it curiously reminiscent of Andy Warhol's camouflaged self-portraits.
Sutherland's studies of birds and sheep are skeletal, savage mutations such as you might find in a Ted Hughes poem rather than a farmyard; while one exceptionally dark image features a demonic colony of bats swooping straight out of a Goya-esque nightmare.

 Sutherland's belated homecoming: renewed interest in painter Graham Sutherland's work has led to a recent series of ...
In the country's depressed postwar period, Sutherland, along with Henry Moore, was credited with helping to pull British art out of the doldrums of prewar provincialism and into the arena of the international avant-garde.
Sutherland's colorful, quasi-abstract canvases featuring spiky organic forms and jagged, shifting planes, often inspired by the rugged terrain of Wales, were viewed by many as welcome antidotes to the staid academicism of much English art of the period.
Sutherland is perhaps better known today in Italy and France, where a number of museum surveys have appeared since his death, most recently in 1998 at the Picasso Museum, Antibes.

Sutherland created a duality in his work, in which the objects and forms acted as visual expressions of the destructive and malevolent nature of human behavior.
Sutherland also became known for his crucifixion paintings (from which his use of thorn imagery is said to have derived), and his realistic portraits.
Throughout his career and even after, Sutherland was the subject of various retrospectives, and also received numerous honors including the Order of Merit in 1960, an honorary membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1972.
