Michael Rothenstein was born in 1908 in London, the younger son of Sir William Rothenstein. He was a designer, painter, maker of reliefs and lithographer. He studied at the Chelsea Polytechnic and at the Central School from 1924. His first solo exhibition was held in 1938 at the Matthiesen Gallery, and the following year he began working for the Pilgrim Trust under the 'Recording Britain' Scheme. He decorated schools in Wribbenhall, Bewdley and Eltham. He lived in Essex, in Great Bardfield, where he founded his graphic workshop in 1954. He was awarded first prize in the Giles Bequest Competition for colour woodcuts and linocuts that same year and again in 1956. Rothenstein spent a period of time teaching print making at Camberwell School of Art, and in 1962 became an Art Fellow at Sheffield University. Publications of his include Looking at Paintings, published in 1947, and Linocuts and Woodcuts, 1962. Rothenstein died in 1993.

Michael Rothenstein (1908–1993) was a pioneering British printmaker whose work significantly expanded the possibilities of printmaking in the 20th century. Known for his innovative techniques and experimental approach, Rothenstein explored linocut, woodcut, screenprint, and particularly relief printing, often incorporating found objects and unconventional materials. His prints are celebrated for their dynamic compositions, bold colours, and abstracted forms that bridge figuration and abstraction. He was deeply inspired by the rural English landscape, which features prominently in many of his works. As a teacher and advocate for printmaking, Rothenstein played a key role in revitalizing the medium in post-war Britain, especially through his work at the Curwen Studio and the founding of the Printmakers Council. His prints remain influential for their expressive freedom and technical daring.

Stephen Buckley is a British abstract artist.
Buckley was born in Leicester. He studied Fine Art under Richard Hamilton at Kings College, Durham University (1962-1967), where he was involved in the reconstruction of Marcel Duchamp's "Large Glass", and then at the University of Reading (1967-1979) under Terry Frost and Claude Rodgers.
A group of notable commissions in the early 1970s, from clients including Leith's Restaurant, gave Buckley a strong start to his career. These were followed by a solo exhibtion in Milan in 1973 and another at Kettle's Yard the following year. Solo shows were subsequently held at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford (1975), Waddington Galleries (1976), Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol (1977), and Arts Council of Northern Ireland (1985) among many others.
His teaching career began at Canterbury College of Art (1969-70), before heading to Leeds, The Royal College of Art, and nine years at the Chelsea School of Art (1971-80). He was Artist in Residence at Kings College, Cambridge from 1972-74. In 1994, Buckley was appointed Professor of Fine Art at the University of Reading and Professor Emeritus in 2009. A monograph on Buckley was published in 1989, written by Marco Livingstone. His work has been compared to that of Richard Smith.
The work of Buckley is part of public collections and museums worldwide, including the British Council, Government Art, Kettle's Yard, Aberdeen Gallery, Berwick-upon-Tweed Borough Museum and Art Gallery, BUPA House, City Art Gallery, Bristol, City Art Gallery, Huddersfield, Derby Museum and Art Gallery, Leicester Museum, National Art Gallery of Wales, Cardiff, Reading Museum, Southampton City Art Gallery, Swindon Museum and Art Gallery, Tate Britain, London, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester. His work is also part of international collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Miami Art Museum, Miami, Florida, Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut; Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende...
