Artist or Maker: John Buckland Wright John Buckland Wright (3 December 1897 - 27 September 1954) was a British printmaker, painter and draughtsman. He worked principally as an etcher and engraver, and was self-taught. Buckland Wright studied history at Oxford and then architecture in London.

He was also a member of Xylographes Belges, SWE and LG. During the 1930s, Buckland Wright lived and worked in Paris and frequently visited S W Hayter's Atelier 17. He had one-man shows in London and throughout the continent, sometimes signing his work J B W. His work is held by 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. His work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the1948 Summer Olympics. John Buckland Wright (illustrator). Signed by Illustrator(s).…
