A profile of a world-famous British painter filmed on the occasion of his Munich exhibition last year
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...
Happily Graham Sutherland has overcome a good many of the difficulties of the creative artist when talking about his art. He talks with candour and self-knowledge about his work at a lively press conference in Munich and to the Italian writer Giorgio Soavi in his own surroundings. The paintings and drawings, filmed in Wales, England, Germany, and France, as well as the places and themes Sutherland dwells on, illuminate the words of a remarkable man and artist.
