About the artist
Born in West Hartlepool in 1923, Margaret Green studied at the Hartlepool School of Art before going to the Royal College of Art (1944–47) where she met her future husband Lionel Bulmer. Green taught at Walthamstow College of Art, taking up the role of Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools in the 1960s. Green was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, but was never made a member, though she did become a member of the New English Art Club. She also showed regularly with the London Group, the Leicester Galleries and the New Grafton, where she had a solo show in 1972. Her work slipped briefly from public view, but her reputation was revived by a major joint retrospective which was held at Messum's Cork Street gallery in 2002.
