Sutherland, Graham (Vivian)
- Sutherland, Graham (Vivian)

born Aug. 24, 1903, London, Eng.
died Feb. 17, 1980, London
British painter.
After studying art in London, he taught and practiced printmaking (1926–40) at the Chelsea School of Art. His early work was characterized by an exacting representationalism that evolved into
Surrealism. He turned primarily to painting с 1935 and served as official war artist 1940–45; his war paintings are an evocative record of desolation. His "thorn period" began with his
Crucifixion (1946), considered to be one of the most important religious paintings of the 20th century. In such late works he incorporated anthropomorphic insect and plant forms, particularly thorns, which he transformed into powerful, frightening totemic images. Sutherland was known, too, for his expressionistic, penetrating portraits. He also designed the enormous tapestry (с 1955–61) for the new Coventry Cathedral.
