William Rothenstein
Sir William Rothenstein (29 January 1872 – 14 February 1945) was an English painter, printmaker, draughtsman and writer on art. He is best known for his work as a war artist in both world wars and as a portrait artist. More than 200 of his portraits of famous people are in the National Portrait Gallery collection. He co-founded the Carfax Gallery that held exhibitions of works of the Camden Town Group. Rothenstein was a Principal at the Royal College of Art from 1920 to 1935 and was knighted in 1931.
==Personal life==
William Rothenstein was born into a German-Jewish family in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire. His father, Moritz, emigrated from Germany in 1859 to work in Bradford's burgeoning textile industry. Soon afterwards he married Bertha Dux and they had six children, of which William was the fifth.
William's two brothers, Charles and Albert, were also heavily involved in the arts. Charles (1866–1927), who followed his father into the wool trade, was an important collector - and left his entire collection to the Manchester City Art Gallery in 1925. Albert (1881–1953) was a painter, illustrator and costume designer. Both brothers changed their surname to Rutherston during the First World War.〔
He married Alice Knewstub in 1899〔 with whom he had four children: John, Betty, Rachel and Michael. John Rothenstein later gained fame as an art historian and art administrator (he was Director of the Tate Gallery from 1938 to 1964 and was knighted in 1952).〔Edward Chaney, "The Vasari of British Art: Sir John Rothenstein... and the Importance of Wyndham Lewis", ''Apollo'', vol. CXXXII, no. 345 (November, 1990), pp. 322-26〕 Michael Rothenstein was a talented printmaker.〔Nicholas Usherwood, ‘Rothenstein, (William) Michael Francis (1908–1993)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 30 Jan 2014 )〕
