The New Masters: Graham Sutherland

on BBC Two England

A profile of the world-famous British painter.
'Why should I struggle to explain? Why should I have to bruise the chancy sensations of the process of the creative art of painting? It is all as impossible as explaining the smell of leaves or the smell of a rose...'
Graham Sutherland refers to the difficulty all artists face in talking about their work. Yet in spite of cameras and lights, both at a press conference for the opening of an important exhibition in Munich and in conversations with his friend Giorgio Soavi, he talks with ease and clarity about what he has tried, and is still trying, to achieve.
