Purple Vine Pergola by Graham Sutherland OM c 1948

Established in 1979, Whitfield Fine Art is one of the leading Old Master galleries in the world, selling to many of the great museums and collections. The gallery also maintains an active exhibition schedule of 20th­century British art.

This work is clearly related to the series of oils that Graham Sutherland produced circa 1948 around the subject of the ‘Vine Pergola’. He made his first visit to the South of France in 1947, staying on the Riviera for five weeks in the spring, regularly painting and gambling with Francis Bacon. From then on, Sutherland spent part of each year there, buying a house at Menton in 1955. The South of France and the Mediterranean presented him with a different world and had a huge impact on his work. The landscape and vegetation, together with the bright Mediterranean sun, changed his palette to one of brilliant colour – pinks, yellows and blues. The palm palisades and vine pergolas replaced the spiky thorn heads that had dominated his work earlier in the decade.
