"The artist, writer and teacher William Rothenstein (1872-1945) was a significant figure in the British art world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was a conspicuously cosmopolitan character: born to a German-Jewish family in the North of England, he attended art school in Paris, wrote the first English monograph on the Spanish artist Goya, and became a prominent collector and supporter of Indian art. However, Rothenstein's cosmopolitanism was a complex affair. His relationship with his English, European, and Jewish identities was ever-changing, responding to wider shifts on the political and cultural stage. This book traces those changes through the artist's writings and through his art, analysing a range of paintings, drawings and prints created from the 1890s into the 1930. This book - the first in-depth study of Rothenstein's art - draws on extensive archival material to situate his practice within broader debates regarding transnational exchange and the development of modern art in Britain"-- Provided by publisher. - Subject Terms:
