Sutherland O.M., Graham (1903 – 1980) ‘The Village’ (T.20 / C.25). Etching. 1925. State III of III. Signed. This is the first of Sutherland’s six Pastoral works. The high horizon, extensive working of the plate, beautiful play of light and the subject of the woman gathering potatoes is in stark contrast to his previous work. It demonstrates the extraordinary effect that Palmer’s work had on him, and just how completely he understood it, despite his young age. 6.75×8.75 inches.
£4,500
Sutherland O.M., Graham (1903 – 1980) ‘Wood End’ (T.28 / C.35). Etching. 1929. Final state. Signed and editioned 21/60. Inscribed ‘Wood End’. Sometimes titled ‘Cottage in Dorset’, this is almost a pair to ‘Wood Interior’ (C.34). It is an exquisite print, but again without figures and the cottage seems abandoned. The hard, diagonal composition, leafless trees and dark wood create a sense of loss. 5.5×7 inches. Framed: 5.5×7 inches.
