Please join us at the opening of our new exhibition celebrating the printmaking of Michael Rothenstein on Saturday 31st May 2025. Rothenstein’s print editions were typically very small. Many were never fully completed, or underwent major alterations from one impression to the next...
Each technique in printmaking is like a single instrument producing its own range of sound... capable of merging, of being used in concert – of producing a symphony. Michael Rothenstein
Michael Rothenstein was an artist of extraordinary imaginative and technical gifts. He was a draughtsman of great verve and subtlety. Above all, he was a committed and innovative printmaker, whose output over nearly fifty years was characterised by a recurrence of compulsive themes, bravura techniques and visual surprise.
Rothenstein was one of the great artist-printmakers of the twentieth century: his graphic work presents a complex vision matched by a passionately inventive virtuosity. Mel Gooding
