Description: Michael Fairclough, RE, NEAC (born 1940, Blackburn, son of the artist Wilfred Fairclough) is painter and printmaker, mainly of landscapes and seascapes. He studied at Kingston School of Art 1957-61, at the British School in Rome 1964-67, and with S W Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris in 1967.  Michael Fairclough has exhibited extensively, including with the Royal Society of Painter Etchers (becoming an associate in 1964 and a full member in 1973) and the New English Art Club (member 1995). He was also elected to the Printmakers Council in 1981. His work is held in a number of public collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, the Government Art Collection, and New York City Public Library.
