1931. Volume 2 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. Other volumes in this set are ISBN(s):
