Description: | Graham Sutherland sketched these two men in a Welsh coalmine whilst working as a War Artist during the World War 2. The bulky forms of the figures recall the sculptures and drawings of Henry Moore at the same period. Sutherland has used a wash of black ink over red wax crayon to give a textured effect for the block of rock above the miners' heads. The sense of threat created by the colours was a characteristic of Sutherland's style of this time. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists watercolours art science and industry men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
