John Buckland-Wright Art
English, 1897-1954
Buckland Wright was born on December 3rd, 1897, in Dunedin, New Zealand. He moved to England in 1908. Buckland Wright studied history at Oxford and then architecture in London. He soon realized that he wanted to be an artist more than an architect and by 1921 he was living in Belgium and was elected a member of the Gravure Originale Belge in 1925. During the 1930s, Buckland Wright lived and worked in Paris. He had several one-man shows in London and throughout the continent. JBW is a signature that is commonly found in his work.
His work is held by several museums in England: the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and many galleries and museums in Europe and America.
A master printmaker with an assured, swirling line, Buckland Wright passed on his skills after World War II when he taught at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, from 1948, and the Slade School of Fine Art, from 1953, the year that his book Etching and Engraving: Techniques and the Modern Trend was published. He illustrated over 50 books.
Buckland Wright died on September 27th, 1954.(Biography provided by BLUE IRIS / IRIS BLEU)
