Graham Sutherland, OM (British, 1903-1980) A Study of Birds and Foliage, signed lower left "Sutherland", gouache, watercolour, bodycolour and black crayon, 16 x 13cm (6.24 x 5.07in). Provenance: Christie`s, London, sale, 25 May 1994, Lot 35. Graham Sutherland took up glass design, fabric design and poster design during the 1930s, and taught at a number of London art colleges. In 1934 he first visited Pembrokeshire, and was inspired by nature and the countryside in his neo-romantic work. Following the Second World War he produced several religious pieces, including The Crucifixion (1946) for St Matthew`s Church, Northampton, and the tapestry Christ in Glory (1962) for Coventry Cathedral. He also continued to produce work based on natural forms, and managed to blend some of these - such as thorns - into his religious work. The present gouache and watercolour of Birds and Foliage is a design for a tapestry, circa 1950. Sutherland exhibited in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1952 along with Edward Wadsworth and the New Aspects of British Sculpture Group. Major retrospective shows were held at the Tate Gallery in 1982, France in 1998, and the Dulwich Picture Gallery in 2005
