From his portrait work, Sutherland acquired several patrons in Italy and took to spending the summer in [[Venice]]. However, in 1967, for an Italian television documentary, Sutherland visited [[Pembrokeshire]] for the first time in more than twenty years and became inspired by the landscape to regularly work in the region until his death.<ref name="ODNBgs"/> Living abroad had led to something of a decline in his status in Britain, but his return to working in Pembrokeshire went some way toward restoring his reputation as a leading British artist.<ref name=Beebbio/>
Much of his work from this point until the end of his life incorporates motifs taken from the area, such as the estuaries at Sandy Haven and [[Picton Castle|Picton]]. His work from this period includes two suites of prints ''The Bees'' (1976–77) and ''Apollinaire'' (1978–79).

There were major retrospective shows at the [[Institute of Contemporary Arts]] in 1951, the Tate in 1982, the [[Château Grimaldi (Antibes)|Musée Picasso, Antibes]], France in 1998 and the [[Dulwich Picture Gallery]] in 2005.<ref name=OMyN/> A major exhibition of rarely seen works on paper by Sutherland, curated by artist [[George Shaw (artist)|George Shaw]], was shown in Oxford, in 2011–12.

Sutherland died in 1980 and was buried in the graveyard of the [[Church of St Peter and St Paul, Trottiscliffe|Church of St Peter and St Paul]] in [[Trottiscliffe]], Kent.
