Joseph Rozman'Floorboard Plus Four' original collagraph signed by Joseph Rozman1967
1967
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.

'Untitled' original 1960s signed serigraph silver abstract vintage train pop art
Located in Milwaukee, WI
In this untitled serigraph, Vincent DiMattio combines the aesthetics of the space age with Pop Art sensibilities and techniques. In the postwar era of the 1950s and 1960s, the United States was in the midst of a period of economic growth for the middle class, and so the trappings and imagery of middle class life became the subjects of a number of artists. While figures like Andy Warhol focused on images of celebrities and soup cans, here DiMattio looks to robots and rockets. At the far left, a figure appears with a round green head and a small clamping arm. To the right, a form like a tank with phallic protrusions, one with a head like the form of a space ship. These signs all alight with the space age toys...
