The artwork titled “Estuary with Birds” was created by Graham Sutherland in 1972. It belongs to the art movements of Surrealism and Expressionism and is classified under the genre of landscape.
In this artwork, a blend of vibrant greens, dark shadows, and earthy tones dominate the composition. The scene seems to depict an estuary, filled with the presence of various avian forms, abstractly rendered. The background is rich with tangled foliage and intricate details, evoking a sense of depth and mystery. The birds, painted with dynamic strokes and fluid lines, bring an element of life and motion to the tranquil natural setting. The lower portion of the artwork contrasts with brighter, lighter hues, creating a harmonious yet striking juxtaposition within the entire scene.
