John Buckland Wright (1897–1954) was a British printmaker, painter and draughtsman.
He soon realised 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 and frequently visited S W Hayter's Atelier 17.
His work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics.
[8] 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.
