Twenty One Gallery was founded in London in the early 1920’s by the artist and dealer Mrs A. M. Bernhard-Smith, who was known particularly for her one artist shows. Notable exhibitors included Graham Sutherland, Ben Nicholson, Jacob Epstein and Paul Drury. The following six works by Graham Sutherland are perfect examples of the renaissance in England of the etching technique known as the Etching Revival of which Sutherland was a part. Evocative of the pastoral idylls of William Blake and Samuel Palmer, they also represent Sutherland's early romantic vision, prior to his embracing of surrealism and the modernist spirit.
