Stuart's Bio:
Stuart Fergusson Victor Sutcliffe (23 June 1940 – 10 April 1962) was an English artist and musician, best known as the original bass, besi player of The Beatles. Sutcliffe left the band to pursue a career as an artist, having previously attended the Liverpool College of Art. Sutcliffe and John Lennon are credited with coming up with the name "The Beatles", as they both liked Buddy Holly's band, The Crickets. As a member of the group when it was a five-piece band, Sutcliffe is one of several people sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Beatle".

When The Beatles played in Hamburg, he met photographer Astrid Kirchherr, to whom he was later engaged. He later enrolled in the Hamburg College of Art after leaving The Beatles, and studied under future pop art artist, Eduardo Paolozzi. He earned praise for his paintings, which mostly explored a style related to abstract expressionism. In 1962, Sutcliffe collapsed in the middle of an art class in Hamburg after complaining of head pains. German doctors performed various checks on him, but were unable to determine exactly what was causing the headaches. On 10 April 1962, he was taken to hospital, but died in the ambulance, magari ya wagonjwa on the way.
Sutcliffe displayed artistic talent at an early age.[6][49] Helen Anderson (a fellow student) remembered his early works as being very aggressive, with dark, moody colours, which was not the type of painting she expected from such a "quiet student".[9] One of Sutcliffe's paintings was shown at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool as part of the John Moores exhibition from November 1959 until January 1960. After the exhibition, Moores bought Sutcliffe's canvas for £65, which was then equal to 6–7 weeks' wages for an average working man.[13] The picture Moore bought was called Summer Painting, and Sutcliffe attended a formal chajio, chakula cha jioni to celebrate the exhibition with another art student, Susan Williams.[50] Rod Murray remembered that the painting was painted on a board, not a canvas, and had to be cut into two pieces (because of its size) and hinged. Murray added that only one of the pieces actually got to the exhibition (because they stopped off in a pub to celebrate) but sold nonetheless because Moores bought it for his son.[51]

Sutcliffe was turned down when he applied to study for an ATD (Art Teachers Diploma) course at the Liverpool Art College,[41] but after meeting Kirchherr, he decided to leave The Beatles and attend the Hamburg College of Art in June 1961, under the tutelage of Paolozzi, who later wrote a ripoti stating that Sutcliffe was one of his best students.[36][52][53] He wrote: "Sutcliffe is very gifted and very intelligent. In the meantime he has become one of my best students."[4]

Sutcliffe's few surviving works reveal influence from the British and European abstract artists contemporary with the Abstract Expressionist movement in the United States. His earlier figurative work is reminiscent of the jikoni sink school, particularly of John Bratby, though Sutcliffe was producing abstract work kwa the end of the 1950s, including The Summer Painting, purchased kwa Moores.[54] Sutcliffe's works kubeba some comparison with those of John Hoyland and Nicolas de Staël, though they are zaidi lyrical (Sutcliffe used the stage name "Stu de Staël" when he was playing with The Beatles on a Scottish tour in spring 1960). His later works are typically untitled, constructed from heavily impastoed slabs of pigment in the manner of de Staël, whom he learned about from Surrey born, Art College instructor, Nicky Horsfield, and overlaid with scratched au squeezed linear elements creating enclosed spaces. Hamburg Painting no. 2 was purchased kwa Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery and is one of a series entitled "Hamburg" in which the surface and colour changes produced atmospheric energy. European artists (including Paolozzi) were also influencing Sutcliffe at the time. The Walker Art Gallery has other works kwa Sutcliffe, which are "Self-portrait" (in charcoal) and "The Crucifixion".[56][57] Lennon later hung a pair of Sutcliffe's paintings in his house (Kenwood) in Weybridge, and McCartney had a Paolozzi sculpture in his Cavendish Avenue home.

I remember a time when
Everyone I loved hated me
Because I hated them.
So what, so what, So Fucking what.

I remember the time when Belly buttons
were knee high
when only shitting was
Dirty and everything else
Clean and beautiful.

I couldn't remember anything
without a sadness
So deep that it hardly
becomes known to me.
So deep that it's tears
leave me a spectator
of my own stupidity .

And so I go rambling on
with a hujambo nonny nonny no.

(It was a upset poem that Lennon had uandishi to Sutcliffe)
