Creating a world in which she can work is as important for Anne Rothenstein as making the painting. She refers to this world as “something to do with childhood”. As a child she drew, wrote stories and painted. She loved making things “Something out of nothing. Energy. Like magic.”
This same energy is still the source – “sometimes when I paint, the marks are right and they bounce back and carry me on. I play with paint and what appears takes me by surprise – why have these women put on gloves? What is that cloth she holds? Then I imagine I’m as near as I can get. I want that feeling. I suppose that’s why I paint.”
Painting has always been second nature, for she grew up in a community of artists in the village of Great Bardfield, Essex and thought that’s how people were! Her parents, Michael Rothenstein and Duffy Ayers, were painters, as was her Grandfather William Rothenstein.
