Saturday 21 June 2025, 2.00pm
Museum of Chelmford, Chelmsford, CM1 9AQ
Rosemary Rutherford (1912-1972) was a prolific artist who spent much
of her life in East Anglia. Rosemary became a Second World War artist,
depicting the war at home and abroad, and later a renowned designer of
stained-glass windows.
I will
explore her life and work and discuss the Rutherford Project, which has
conserved Rosemary’s artworks at Broomfield Church in Essex.
The talk is part of the Shifting Perspectives: Exploring Art Together exhibition at the Museum of Chelmsford in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Society and is in association with Essex Book Festival.
Copies of Rosemary Rutherford: life and works of an extraordinary artist, edited by Naomi Courtenay-Luck with contributions from Ian Mercer, Ros Mercer, Catherine Pearson and Kathy Rouse will be available at the Museum of Chelmsford or can be ordered from Broomfield Church.
