Theodore MAJORTheodore Major was born in humble circumstances in Wigan in 1908 and lived in nearby Appley Bridge until his death in 1999. He was against materialism and the sale of his pictures to rich collectors so kept around 3000 of his pictures back from sale as they were painted for ordinary people, not money.
It has been said that he would have been bigger than L S Lowry if he had sold his paintings during his lifetime. Interest in his work continues to grow with a record prices being set.
