Mr. Rosen joined the Federal Arts Project in 1936, Mural Division, and stayed until 1941. He painted and exhibited pictures in various art galleries in New York City until 1945 when he moved to Los Angeles. He moved to Laguna in 1958, where he painted and lived in his studio. He entered the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts as the first painter to contribute Abstract Art to the event, and participated in the festival for the next fifteen years.

- Early Drawing and Watercolor Painting Figurative AbstractionBy Mitch BeckerLocated in Surfside, FLMitchell Mitch Becker, painter, born November 12, 1938, Chicago, Illinois. 1972, Emigrated to Israel. Education 1961 - School of the Art Institute, Chicago, Illinois. Bachelor of Art Education, 1971 - University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, Master of Fine Arts, Teaching 1968-1972 High School, Skokie, USA. 1973-1974 Thelma Yellin Art School, Givatayim 1974-1976 Institute of Visual Art, Beersheba 1977-1981 Art Teachers College, Ramat Hasharon 1981-1982 Bezalel, Jerusalem Awards And Prizes 1958-61, Anna Tucson Scholarship, USA Mitchell Becker emerged into the art world of late 1950s Chicago, between gestures of Abstract Expressionism and declarations about the "death of painting." The hot names of his youth, such as Willem De Kooning, Mark Rothko, and Larry Rivers, provided him with interest and challenges for years to come, and his awe for them is still evident in his voice to date, many years after drawing away from them. This work is reminiscent of the work of Saul Steinberg and Philip Guston.
