*Michael Ayrton (1921-1975)'Desolate Garden', c.1945inscribed as titled l.r., pencil14.7 x 23.5cmA powerful neo-romantic drawing closely related to two works from 1944, ‘Convulsive Landscape’ and ‘Tree Forms’, all of which show Ayrton's response to and development of ideas drawn from Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland, both of whom Ayrton met between 1944-46. The religious/naturalistic imagery, with an agonised body configured of branches, roots and stones, builds imaginatively on Sutherland's own depictions of Christ's crucified suffering, first produced during this period. (See: Peter Cannon-Brookes, 'Michael Ayrton', pp.15,16,18, plates 24 and 25).*Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.Condition report: Not examined out of glazed frame, slight wave to the sheet and rippling top left corner. Some time staining to the sheet leaving a lighter band through the upper centre. Well-presented and ready to hang.
