Four artworks by the late Beatles member Stu Sutcliffe have gone on display at the Liverpool Beatles Museum.
Via RTÉ:
[The] works have been loaned to the museum by Hereward Harrison, a close friend of Sutcliffe's sister, Pauline.
He said Pauline Sutcliffe, who died in 2019, gave him the pieces as presents over their 50 years of friendship, and he had them framed and kept them on his wall.
Harrison, 82, decided to put them on public display after a conversation at a party with someone who suggested he contact the museum.
...The artworks include a sketch of people on a bridge, created when Stuart Sutcliffe was a student at the Liverpool College of Art, and three abstract pieces from his time working and studying in Hamburg.
Harrison said his favourite of the works is a collage, which includes bits of a German newspaper.
He said: "Most people are interested in the Beatles connection and I like The Beatles, but there are two stories here, that he happened to be a Beatle but also about him as an artist.
