Note:  Born in Denton in 1903, and based for much of his life in Hyde, Harry Rutherford has often been identified as one of the unsung heroes of the Lowry generation. A follower of Walter Sickert, Rutherford’s work always demonstrates an uncanny knack of distilling the moment. Rutherford attended Hyde School of Art on Saturday mornings whilst still at school, and on leaving joined the Manchester School of Art where he was taught by Walter Sickert and became a contemporary of L. S. Lowry.
