Graham Sutherland (1903 - 1980)
Away by Green Line
Original vintage poster
103 x 63 cm
A poster produced for London Transport illustrating the pleasurable destinations to be reached via Green Line Coaches. Sutherland's design depicts a scythe, a sheaf of wheat, and a farmer's sunhat - three promises of country life which the city-dweller might now easily access, thanks to the advent of British coach travel.
Graham Sutherland OM was an English artist known for his romantic, abstract landscapes and portraits of public figures, including Churchill and the Queen Mother. Sutherland spent the 1920s mostly making landscape prints, but, following the collapse of the print market in the early 1930s branched out into watercolours. He also undertook a few commercial commissions for posters, working for London Transport, Shell and others. He served as an official war artist in the Second World War, painting industrial scenes on the British home front. After the war he worked in oils and explored figurative painting.

Graham Sutherland
Graham Sutherland OM was a prolific English artist. Notable for his paintings of abstract landscapes and for his portraits of public figures, Sutherland also worked in other media, including printmaking, tapestry, and glass design. Printmaking, mostly of romantic landscapes, dominated Sutherland's work during the 1920s. He developed his art by working in watercolors before switching to using oil paints in the 1940s. A series of surreal oil paintings depicting the Pembrokeshire landscape secured his reputation as a leading British modern artist.
