Joseph Rozman'Mad Dash' original lithograph signed by Joseph Rozman1972
1972
About the Item
'Mad Dash' is a print that exemplifies the work of Joseph Rozman during the 1970s, moving beyond the playful pictographs of the previous decade and morphing into an increasingly surreal and psychedelic style. The print emphasizes negative space, filling the margins of the paper with black ink and leaving the central composition white. Within this white field is a figure in metamorphosis, teetering between plant, animal and man-made forms. The primary motif of the composition, however, is the cloud: a lobed cloud-form frames the central figure in a field of white, while smaller clouds dance in a line in the black margins. Like the central figure, clouds are in constant fluxus and never maintain the same shape for long.

Joseph Rozman (b. 1944, Milwaukee, WI) was the first artist to have a solo exhibition at the David Barnett Gallery in 1967, with additional exhibitions in 1969 and 1971. Rozman 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.

Alphonse Mucha was born in 1860 in the small town of Ivancice, Monrovia. Though it is rumored that Mucha was drawing before he was walking, his early years were spent as a choirboy and amateur musician. It wasn’t until after he finished high school that he came to realize that living people were responsible for the art that he admired in the local churches. That epiphany made him determined to become a painter. He was soon sent off to Paris, where he studied at the Academie Julian. On January 1, 1985, he presented his own new style to the citizens of Paris. Spurning the bright colors and the more square-like shape of the more popular poster artists, the design was a sensation. Art Nouveau can...
