A contemporary of Euan Uglow, Michael Andrews and Craigie Aitchison, Sutton is a member of the glittering generation that emerged from the Slade School of Art after World War II. In this beautifully produced book, Simon Tait traces Sutton s meteoric rise from humble beginnings to successful artist, revealing the importance of Sutton s family and domestic surroundings to the shaping of his artistic vision. Extensively illustrated, the works span all aspects of the artist s diverse output, showing the influence of Matisse and Sutton s exuberant use of colour, whether he is painting a portrait or the back garden, a scene from Shakespeare or a view of the Houses of Parliament, ceramics or stamps. This book affirms Sutton as one of the most accomplished of postwar British artists.
