Henry Rushbury

Sir Henry George Rushbury KCVO CBE RA (28 October 1889 – 5 July 1968) was an English painter and etcher.

He worked as an assistant to Henry Payne chiefly as a stained-glass artist, until 1912, when he moved to London, where he shared lodgings with fellow Birmingham student, Gerald Brockhurst.

[1] Rushbury was an official war artist during World War I, and took up etching and drypoint under the influence of Francis Dodd before studying briefly under Henry Tonks at the Slade School of Art in 1921.

WAAC duly commissioned Rushbury to go to Port Glasgow and produce some rather more conventional views of shipbuilding for Lithgow.

[1] He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in the 1964 New Year Honours.
