About the artist
(This text appearson the back of the greeting card)
RONALD RUTHERFORD (b. 1913)
RONALD RUTHERFORD was born in Banstead in 1913. He went to Estonia at the age of eighteen, and, as well as studying German, spent one day a week in the studio of a Russian artist. It was here that he learnt the rudiments of painting. After returning home he studied at the Architectural Association in London and practised as an architect in England and then in Rhodesia. He came back to England in 1958, and he retired from architecture in 1973 in order to concentrate on painting. For the next fifteen years he lived in Southwold in Suffolk. His study of the town from the sea was conceived in the imagination and executed with the help of individual drawings of each of the houses in North Parade which appear in it. Perhaps more than any other painting it captures the essence of one of Suffolk's best-loved coastal towns. |
