About the Item
The present unique collagraph is an excellent example of Joseph Rozman's pictographic style. The composition is organized like a tiled floor, each square containing an abstracted image or symbol. Around the border, the subjects are readily recognizable: a delivery truck, an airplane, a tank, children with a balloon, etc. They are arranged like Egyptian hieroglyphs to evoke linguistic meaning, but they also read as memories of childhood, evoking toys scattered across the floor. All the while, the subjects acknowledge the anxieties of the 1960s by representing the tools of the Vietnam war. Overall, the print is of its moment, responding to the present while expressing a nostalgia for the past.

Joseph Rozman (b. 1944, Milwaukee, WI) received his BFA and MFA from UW-Milwaukee by 1969, and would later become a Professor at Mount Mary College. His style is a spontaneous merging of ancient art with Modernist concerns: like Paul Klee and Adolph Gottlieb, his compositions are dominated by pictographs and symbols, drawing influence from Ancient Egyptian styles and prehistoric rock art. His approach to painting likewise falls in the legacy of Abstract Expressionism, with his free experimentation with varied materials and processes, and his delight in color and texture. Caring the credo of "Art is Fun" Rozman's playful gestures recur in his richly diverse works.

Joseph Rozman
Joseph Rozman was born on December 26, 1944, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was the first artist to have a solo exhibition at the David Barnett Gallery in 1967, 1969 and again in 1971. Rozman received his BFA with honors in 1967 and MFA in 1969 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He later became a professor at Mount Mary College. His zany style portrays his spontaneous blending of ancient and personal symbols influenced by Egyptian art and the paintings and drawings of Paul Klee, his free experimentation with varied materials and processes, and his delight in color and texture. Carrying the credo of "Art is fun," Rozman's playful gestures recur in his richly diverse works.

Robert Kelly Kalasa V Signed Modern Abstract Aquatint Etching 5/50 Framed, 1985
By Robert Kelly
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
A bold and graphic modern aquatint etching in colors titled "Kalasa V" by Robert Kelly. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 5/50 on the bottom left. Published in 1985. Kelly's work intricately combines influences of the Bauhaus from Van Doesburg to Mondrian, with those of Schwitters and Klee, Kelly weds hints of the historical with the contemporary. His play of edges, angles, and cuts creates a tension and an intuitive logic to the placement of line and form. Kelly's work investigates the idea of doubleness through images that reflect, oppose, or mimic each other. Dimensions: 32"w x 1.5"d x 37"h (framed). In very good vintage condition.
Robert Kelly (1956- ) paintings have been acquired by public and private collections in Europe and the United States, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, New Mexico Museum of Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, Smith College Art Museum, Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, The Fogg Museum, The Margulies Collection, and the McNay Art Museum. Kelly has traveled throughout the United States, Europe, North Africa, the Near East, and Nepal. His work often incorporates unusual materials from his journeys, among them vintage posters and printed antique...
