Whitechapel at War: Isaac Rosenberg and his circle
Ben Uri Gallery, 108a Boundary Road. London NW8, until 8 June

The Ben Uri, which is named after the craftsman who designed and built the Ark of the Covenant, is the London Jewish Museum of Art, the only dedicated Jewish Museum of Art in Europe. It’s currently looking for a bigger space in which to spread itself, as the ground floor and basement galleries in Boundary Road are rather cramped for a museum of its scope and ambition. The quality of exhibitions mounted here in recent years certainly merits the best-possible setting to showcase the art. After London, the Rosenberg show will travel to Leeds University Gallery (16 June to 5 September). A new biography of Rosenberg by Jean Moorcroft Wilson will shortly be reviewed in the books pages.
