Description: | This is one of four watercolours by Graham Sutherland in the collection at the Laing commissioned by the War Artists Advisory Committee. Painted shortly after the Second World War, all four works relate to mining, reflecting the diversity of subjects commissioned in this way to reflect some aspect of the impact of the war. After the war, work was distributed throughout the country, this work was presented to the Laing presumably for the association between the North East and mining. Primarily concerned with nature and landscape, Graham Sutherland was able to adapt his interests to subjects which were acceptable to the War Artist's Advisory Committee and so was employed in this way for the duration of the war. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1942 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Graham Vivian Sutherland | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
