Ram's Head (full face) 1968

Graham Sutherland's 1968 lithograph, "Ram's Head (full face)", is a striking example of his distinctive style. Created with white and pink inks on a black ground, the artwork depicts a ram's head in a frontal pose, emphasizing the animal's powerful presence. The textured lines of the ram's wool, horns, and face, alongside the contrasting black background, contribute to the work's dramatic and almost mystical quality. Sutherland was known for his depictions of nature and his fascination with the textures of the natural world. This artwork reflects that interest through the detailed and expressive portrayal of the ram, revealing Sutherland's mastery of printmaking.
