Sutherland's early Pembrokeshire landscapes from the 1930s and 1940s created during his time as official WWII artist: they are far from traditional studies of landscape and environment, they exude a world that is as dark as it is magical.
West Landscape, 1936
Interlocking Tree Form, 1943
The Thorntree, 1946
Thorn Head, 1945
Trees under Mynedd Pen Cyrm, 1939.
George Shaw described them as 'a lament to the passing and changing landscape, a monument to the earth itself'.
