of Futurist poetry, including those of her husband Alexei Kruchenykh.

Balancing Form, 1972. Colour lithograph, editioned 46/90 and
signed in pencil in lower margin, 42.8 x 35.8cm. Slight discolouration
to margins.
Ref:
Tassi #130. Sutherland's early printmaking was greatly influenced
by the work of Romantic artist Samuel Palmer, as well as William
Blake. His early representational style of densely worked etchings
eventually evolved into Surrealism. While serving as an official
war artist during WWII his work provided a visual record of desolation.
His painting Crucifixion (1946) is considered to be one of the
most important religious paintings of the 20th century. In his
later works he used anthropomorphic insect, animal and plant
forms.

of 40. Ref: Ginestet and Pouillon #E494. A man of great girth,

enthusiast and collector, and a patron of the arts. Many prominent
artists, including Jacques Villon, dined at his restaurant, Big
Boy. They sometimes paid for their meals by making sketches with
materials Renault supplied, often drawing his portrait. Subsequently,
Renault became one of France's most popular portrait subjects,
painted by Leger, Braque, Derain, Dufy and Dubuffet among others.
Parisians flocked to Renault's restaurant to see the art work
and dine on dishes such as "Turbot Villon" and "Soufflé
Kandinsky." Villon used to offer Renault a "canvas"
after every one hundred meals.
