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.
