Graham Sutherland Bees Suite 1977
14 aquatints from the hc suite of 20 only which contained two additional prints. The Bees Suite is a series of aquatints conceived and produced between October 1976 and May 1977. They were printed in the 2RC Studio in Rome under the supervision of Eleonora and Valter Rossi and were published by Marlborough Fine Art Ltd and 2RC Editrice. The main edition of 66 contains 12 prints. This HC edition of 20 contains an additional two prints (nos 7 and 11). Image size is 40 x 31.5 cm.
Sutherland became fascinated by aquatint from the moment we proposed it to him. The artist approached the medium with curiosity and excitement; he tested it fully in order to evaluate its application to his own pictorial idiom. His past experience as an etcher helped
him to appreciate a vital and innovative technique. This he approached with modesty: from the very first proofs of the Bees series, we were able to achieve fascinating results. As Sutherland began to master the medium everything started
to fall into place; line gave vigour; colour glowed with light by absorbing and reflecting it; blacks became alive. This newly acquired extension to his graphic experiences introduces us to the mysterious realm of Bees. Eleonora and Valter Rossi
