MICHAEL ROTHENSTEIN (1908-1993) “Tree with Birds” Color Woodcut

This woodcut print by famed English artist Michael Rothenstein (1908-1993) depicts a colorful rendering of a large tree basking in a gradient of orange and yellow as prominent birds intersect the composition. The son of celebrated artist Sir William Rothenstein (1972-1945), Rothenstein deviated from his father’s figurative painting background in the mid-1950s, instead beginning to work more abstractly and in linocut and woodcut printmaking. Rothenstein’s work is widely collected by respected institutions such as the Tate Modern, with Rothenstein himself being made a Royal Academician at the Royal College of Art in 1984. Housed in a metallic gold frame, this woodcut is signed and numbered 48/50 by the artist along the bottom of the print.
