- Title
The Rossettis ed. by Carol Jacobi and James Finch (review).
- Authors
Motlani, Aisha
- Abstract
The article discusses the exhibition "The Rossettis" at Tate Britain, which explores the artistic and poetic contributions of the Rossetti family, particularly Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Elizabeth Siddal. The exhibition aims to challenge the notion of the singular male artistic genius but is criticized for still feeling like a one-man show. The article highlights different sections of the exhibition, including the portrayal of Gabriel's trajectory and the working relationship between Gabriel and Siddal. The accompanying catalogue is praised for providing a more nuanced perspective on the Rossettis' work. However, the article suggests that the exhibition could have benefited from a more critical appraisal of Rossetti's portraits and a deeper exploration of racial imagery.
