Graham Sutherland

Graham Sutherland was an artist who during his career painted a number of portraits. The one I'm particularly interested in is his portrait of Winston Churchill. Churchill hates this painting and refused to display it. It was later found out that Lady Churchill destroyed the painting. I find it fascinating that one painting could cause so much hatred from one person and would resolve to the destruction of a piece of art.
