"Graham Sutherland was born in London. Though he initially worked as an engineer on the railway, he took up a place at Goldsmiths School of Art in 1921. Sutherland trained as an etcher at Goldsmiths, and only began painting in the 1930s. He was flexible in his use of medium: ranging from painting and stained glass to fabric work and printmaking. He taught many of these varied skills at the Chelsea School of Art. When that establishment closed, he moved to Gloucestershire and was offered a job as a salaried war artist. The paintings he did in this role were focused on the destruction of the Blitz, both in Wales and in London. He painted his first portrait in 1949. His most well-known portrait was that of Sir Winston Churchill, which was famously hated by Churchill and destroyed by Churchill's wife. In his later years Sutherland returned to Wales for inspiration and devoted much of his energy to printmaking."
