Summary

Sutherland made his first visit to the South of France in 1947, and from then on spent part of each year there, buying a house at Menton in 1955. The landscape and vegetation, together with the bright Mediterranean sun, changed Sutherland’s palette to one of brilliant colour – pinks, yellows and blues. The palm palisades and vine pergolas replaced the spiky thorns of the previous decade.
