Form over River

"Form over River" by Graham Sutherland (1972) exemplifies his mastery in blending Surrealism with figurative elements. The artwork features flowing, organic forms that evoke the landscape of Sutherland, a region steeped in history and natural beauty in the Highlands of Scotland. Sutherland’s use of bold, dynamic shapes creates a sense of movement over the river, emphasizing the interplay between natural forms and abstract composition. This piece highlights his skill in capturing the rugged, timeless essence of the land while maintaining a lyrical, almost dreamlike quality characteristic of his Surrealist influences.
