Graham Sutherland at La Villa Blanche, route de Castellar. Menton 1974. Contact print

This 1974 contact sheet captures the artist Graham Sutherland at his studio, La Villa Blanche, in Menton. Across five strips of film, his meticulous printmaking process unfolds in sequence. Sutherland is first seen seated, drawing or engraving onto a plate. He then moves to a large, hand-cranked printing press, where he inks the plate, positions it, and turns the wheel. The final frames show him carefully inspecting a finished print, holding it up to the light for close study.


This photo is also available as a vintage print in the following size:
