Micheal Rothenstein

Rothenstein studied at Chelsea School of Art (1923) and Central School of Arts and Crafts (1924-7). Early on, he chose printmaking as his primary activity. In 1941 he moved to Great Barfield, where he established an experimental printing workshop. He was to write a number of books on printmaking and established an international reputation. Timber Felling was Rothensteins first editioned print. It records a scene he had noticed on his way to Great Dunmow, Essex. The colours he used were green, black, brown, pink, purple and red.
