STUDIES FROM IMPORTANT BODIES OF WORK
BY GRAHAM SUTHERLAND
The four works by Sutherland included in this collection (lots 141-142, 181-182) represent several dominant motifs the artist adopted from the late-1930s into the early 1950s, during the Second World War and in its aftermath. All but one of these motifs are represented by important oil paintings which inhabit prominent public art collections: Cactus from 1950 at the University of Michigan Art Museum see lot 181), Thorn Trees from 1945 in the Collection of the British Council (see lot 182), Entrance to a Lane from 1939 residing at the Tate, London (see lot 141).
