1903-1980. English painter, graphic artist,
and designer, active mainly in France from
the late 1940s. He painted portraits,
landscapes, and religious subjects. In the
late 1940s Sutherland turned increasingly to
characterful portraiture. His portrait of
Winston Churchill 1954 was disliked by its
subject and eventually burned on the
instructions of Lady Churchill (studies
survive). His Christ in Glory tapestry 1962
is in Coventry Cathedral. Other work includes
ceramics and designs for posters, stage
costumes and sets.
