Sutherland O.M., Graham (1903 – 1980) – ‘Clegyr-Boia II; Landscape in Wales’ (T.33 / C.40).

'Clegyr-Boia II; Landscape in Wales' (T.33 / C.40). Etching and aquatint. 1938. As issued as the frontispiece to 'Signature 9', July 1938. Printed by Walsh of London and published by Curwen Press in an edition of 750. This painterly etching, with heavy use of aquatint, is a translation of Sutherland's extraordinary landscape paintings of the '30s into print. Given the success of the print it is surprising he did not take the medium up again. But, by then he had found his voice and was quickly being received as one of the great painters of the age. 8x6 inches.
