The book is a recollection of Rothenstein's personal experiences and observations of the art world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The first volume covers the period from 1872 to 1900, during which Rothenstein was a student at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and later worked as an artist and illustrator. The book provides a fascinating insight into the lives and works of many influential artists of the time, including Walter Sickert, James McNeill Whistler, and Auguste Rodin. Rothenstein also discusses the development of various art movements, such as the Pre-Raphaelites and the Arts and Crafts movement. Men and Memories is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art and the cultural landscape of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.1931. Volume 1 of 2. Sir William Rothenstein, amiable, bespectacled British artist who for five decades made competent portraits of celebrities, achieved celebrity himself with these anecdote-crammed memoirs about such famed friends as Pablo Picasso (the gigolo of geometry) and H.G. Wells (a great literary cartoonist). Sample Rothenstein sidelight on a celebrity: Albert Einstein once explained to him why an associate kept shaking his head as the great physicist talked: He is my mathematician, said Einstein, who examines problems which I put before him and checks their validity. You see, I am not myself a very good mathematician. A delightful and revealing read.
