Albert Rutherston, painter, stage and costume designer, book illustrator and poster designer, was born in Bradford, the younger brother of Sir William Rothenstein. A sociable and extrovert man, Albert enjoyed the company of other artists and was part of a trio known as the ‘Three Musketeers’: Albert, and the artists, Augustus John and William Orpen, and the three men worked, socialised, and holidayed together. Examples of his work are in the collections of the Tate Gallery, V&A, British Museum, Arts Council Collection, The Ashmolean, and St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, UCL Art Collection, Bradford Art Galleries, Manchester City Art Gallery and Brighton & Hove Art Gallery.
