A New Beginning. 520 8 $a Appointed in 1938, Sir John Rothenstein was the first director of the Tate to embrace modern art, mounting a series of daring exhibitions and procuring a procession of audacious masterworks that, in the words of one contemporary, ?completely knocked the stuffiness out of that veritable institution.' So why, since he died in 1991, has his name become a byword for reactionary conservatism? The answer is that from the outset of his career, Rothenstein refused to bow to the patriarchs of the avant-garde.00In the 1920s, while they were busy decrying the figurative tradition, Rothenstein was championing a brilliant generation of artists whose work remained firmly rooted within it. In the 1930s, while they advocated a geometrical art of the utmost austerity, Rothenstein used his first curatorial positions to promote a new wave of exciting young British realists.00Pitted against the progressives of Hampstead and Bloomsbury and inspired by the anti-vanguardism of this father and Wyndham Lewis, this book charts Rothenstein's earliest efforts to champion modern realistic painting in an age of abstraction. Along the way, it uncovers his selfless and pioneering patronage of artists as diverse as Stanley Spencer, Edward Bawden, Evelyn Dunbar, Paul Nash, Charles Mahoney, and Eric Ravilious. In so doing, it also establishes his importance in the reassessment of twentieth-century figuration going on today. 600 10 $a Rothenstein, John, $d 1901-1992 $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000121479530 610 20 $a Tate Gallery $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000122929521 600 17 $a Rothenstein, John, $d 1901-1992 $2 fast 610 27 $a Tate Gallery $2 fast 650 0 $a Figurative art, British $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Figurative art, British $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4484482141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
