This book revisits a major figure from a somewhat neglected generation which dominated the British art scene in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the period from the mid 1930s -when Sutherland (1903-1980) established his identity as a modern painter- to the 1950s, when his influence began to wane, it portrays the types of work that gave rise to a widespread consensus among fellow artists and critics that Sutherland was the most exciting and compelling voice in contemporary British painting.
Two particular strands of his imagery are discussed : the landscapes of Pembrokeshire and the South of France, before and after the Second World War, and the scenes of devastation produced for the War Artists scheme run by Sutherland's great friend Kenneth Clark.
