S T B E T HNAL G R E EN R H A C K N E Y R D H O X T O N S T C U RTA I N R O n j f a Keith Sutton ‘Breathing’ c.1984 As this handsome new show at the Millinery Works makes wonderfully clear, Keith Sutton really is one of the forgotten figures of post-war British Art. Trained at the Slade under Coldstream in the late 40s and a friend and contemporary of Victor Willing and Michael An- drews, Sutton had, by the late 50s, developed into an abstract painter of unmistakable strength and originality. Why on earth has it taken until now, some 20 years after his death, for this finally to become apparent? I don’t know of many, if any, painters working in the 80s, for example, capable of painting anything quite so bold, complex and allusive as Mantegna’s Garden or Breathing.
