DescriptionA noted portraitist, Rothenstein belonged to the New English Art Club, a group of artists who promoted French painting in England and which included George Clausen, Philip Wilson Steer and William Orpen. In support of Hugh Lane’s project for a gallery of modern art, Rothenstein wrote: ‘I am perfectly willing to admit you to be a man of genius. That you have been able to make the most important collection of modern pictures, drawings and sculpture that has yet been brought together…is nothing short of a miracle.’ (JO'D)On View
