Description: | These strange abstract forms were influenced by the Surrealist movement of the 1930s and '40s. The picture shows limestone quarries. It was painted when Graham Sutherland was working as an Official War Artist during the World War 2. Black and white pastel in the picture creates a contrast of texture to the thin watercolour washes and thicker streaks of watercolour. Sutherland was one of the most important British landscape artists of the 20th century. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists watercolours views art | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
