- Exhibition label for 'The Prints of Jim Dine and Michael Rothenstein', 18 May - 24 September 2000, Department of Prints and Drawings, British Museum:
"The technique of making linocuts from several blocks, one for each colour, lent itself to bold, flat patterning and to the abstraction of the motif. Here the paths running out from the two schematised cottages humourously terminate as a pair of shoes."
