Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Charles Rosen (28 April 1878 – 21 June 1950) was an American painter who lived for many years in Woodstock, New York. In the 1910s he was acclaimed for his Impressionist winter landscapes. He became dissatisfied with this style and around 1920 he changed to a radically different cubist-realist (Precisionism) style. He became recognized as one of the leaders of the Woodstock artists colony.

In 1903 Rosen married Mildred Holden. They moved to the vicinity of New Hope, Pennsylvania, which became their home for seventeen years. Rosen became known for his large snow scenes.Шаблон:Sfn His early work was often compared to Edward Willis Redfield, the leader of the group of impressionist artists at New Hope.Шаблон:Sfn He was also a friend of the artists Daniel Garber, William Langson Lathrop and John Fulton Folinsbee.Шаблон:Sfn

Rosen's landscapes were extremely varied. Sometimes they were spontaneous, thrown off quickly, and sometimes carefully worked. Some paintings were full of movement and others were serenely calm. Some are almost monochrome while some explode with color.Шаблон:Sfn In 1914 Rosen made the first of several visits to Vinalhaven Island on the coast of Maine. The rugged landscape was the subject of several paintings. His work became increasingly decorative.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1916 the National Academy awarded Rosen the Inness Gold Medal and the Altman Prize. He was given seven one-man shows and was elected to the National Academy.Шаблон:Sfn In 1916 Rosen and six other artists formed The New Hope Group to arrange for exhibitions of their work.Шаблон:Sfn The others in this group were Rae Sloan Bredin, Morgan Colt, Daniel Garber, William Langson Lathrop and Robert Spencer.Шаблон:Sfn

Rosen was starting to feel that Impressionism belonged to the past, and from 1916 began to experiment with other styles.Шаблон:Sfn He taught at the Art Students League of New York summer school in Woodstock, New York in 1918.Шаблон:Sfn He was an instructor and then director of the summer school until 1921.Шаблон:Sfn One of Rosen's students there was the Canadian André Charles Biéler.Шаблон:Sfn In 1920 Rosen moved permanently to Woodstock with his wife and their two daughters.Шаблон:Sfn He became a close friend of the painters George Bellows and Eugene Speicher. By 1920 Rosen had adopted a cubist-realist style (later identified as Precisionism) that characterized his work for the remainder of his life.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1922 Rosen, Henry Lee McFee and Andrew Dasburg founded the Woodstock School of Painting.Шаблон:Sfn Rosen taught at the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts in Columbus, Ohio from 1924 to 1928.Шаблон:Sfn During the Great Depression the government commissioned Rosen to paint a series of murals in post offices. His murals in Beacon, New York and Poughkeepsie, New York included panoramas of the Hudson Valley and New York City, and historical scenes. The last was undertaken in 1939.Шаблон:Sfn He also executed work in Palm Beach, Florida, under this program.Шаблон:Sfn His modernist but realistic depictions of buildings, towers and smokestacks reflect the influence of Paul Cézanne.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1940 Rosen was appointed temporary director of the Witte Museum School of Art in San Antonio, Texas.Шаблон:Sfn Rosen suffered a heart attack in 1942. After this he focused on small pastels and drawings.Шаблон:Sfn He died on 21 June 1950 in Kingston, New York at the age of seventy two.Шаблон:Sfn

Work

Rosen's impressionist winter landscapes of Pennsylvania and the coast of Maine, with forceful designs and bold, deeply layered brushwork, are thought by some to be his best work.Шаблон:Sfn His impressionist works were praised for their "virility, sincerity and power".Шаблон:Sfn Some of his simple but elegant compositions recall the style of Japanese prints.Шаблон:Sfn They were very well received at the time. Despite this, he turned to a cubist-realist style after moving to Woodstock.Шаблон:Sfn According to John Folinsbee, "Rosen was considering form in relation to warm and cool colors, lost and found edges, all of which contributed to intensify the illusion of space on flat canvas. Abstraction had gained for him a new importance."Шаблон:Sfn some critics consider his scenes of the towns of Rondout and Saugerties on the Hudson River to be his best work.Шаблон:Sfn However, another critic says that Rosen's bleak views of shabby buildings were hard to distinguish from the work of Bellows and Speicher.Шаблон:Sfn

The James A. Michener Art Museum in New Hope has a collection of Rosen's paintings. Brian H. Peterson, Senior Curator of this museum, wrote a book on the artist entitled Form Radiating Life: the Paintings of Charles Rosen (2006).Шаблон:Sfn The book was issued to coincide with an exhibition with the same title of more than fifty works organized by the James A. Michener Art Museum and shown at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at the State University of New York at New Paltz. His work is held in public and private collections in Idaho, Connecticut, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Washington, D.C.Шаблон:Sfn
