Description
Of the artists who lived in Great Bardfield, Essex between 1930 and 1970, Rothenstein was often regarded as the most avant-garde, which is demonstrated in the Gallery’s collection of his work as a painter of figurative and abstract subjects in oils, watercolour, collage, mixed media, in the assemblages he constructed, and as an innovative printmaker which he developed after 1948.
