“Why paint about sculpture? What will it reveal? Does it work in Sutherland’s case? Yes, because Degas’ form–the young dancer–is a realization by him of a painter’s vision and not that of a sculptor, and so Sutherland is closer to the source than she might otherwise be. In short, her painting probes the vision of another painter. Her affection for the form is apt and touching.” –The Portland Press Herald
