Rothenstein's career spanned six decades of British art; he was a key figure in the dialogue between Paris and London in the 1890s Sumptuously illustrated with 66 full colour and 6 black-and-white illustrations including paintings, drawings and lithographs from both public and private collections, this publication accompanies Ben Uri's first major exhibition on Sir William Rothenstein (1872 1945) and his circle.
