Warrington Wickham Colescott Jr. was an American artist, he is best known for his satirical etchings. He was a master printmaker and operated Mantegna Press in Hollandale, Wisconsin, with his wife and fellow artist Frances Myers.
Warrington Colescott, a printmaker and former art professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been described as a “social scold” and a “mad-dog attack artist” with a humorous and deeply humane side.
As an artist, he could touch a nerve. He explored a range of subjects from the war in Afghanistan to ice fishing. His prints are characterized by dense, colorful, spectacle-like scenes and sharp insights.
He once wrote that he was interested in “that black zone between tragedy and high comedy, where a little pull or push one way or the other can transmute screams into laughter.”

Warrington Colescott
Warrington Colescott was an American artist best known for his satirical Etchings. Working in that area which he calls that black zone between tragedy and high comedy, where with a little pull or push one way or the other you can transmute screams into laughter, Colescott examined the society of today, its virtues and its inequities. To strengthen satire, he juxtaposed humor and violence to reinforce a comment on a current situation, he made use of historical reference.

Malcolm Morley (1931-2018) is an English artist now living in the United States. He is best known as a photorealist. Morley was born in north London. He had a troubled childhood—after his home was blown up by a bomb during the Blitz in World War II, his family was homeless for a time—and did not discover art until serving a three-year stint in Wormwood Scrubs prison. After release, he studied art first at the Camberwell School of Arts and then at the Royal College of Art (1955–1957), where his fellow students included Peter Blake and Frank Auerbach.
