Scope and Content

From the Collection: Roy Rosen was a photographer who worked in the Straight Photography tradition popularized by Edward Weston and other art photographers in the second quarter of the Twentieth Century. During the time that he lived in Santa Fe (1948-1985), Rosen made many photographs of New Mexican architecture, landscapes, Native Americans, and folk art subjects. The collection is divided in accordance with the two main categories Rosen assigned to his work: geographic location and pattern studies. The former were taken during his travels in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The Pattern series are still-life compositional studies. The collection contains a series of black-and-white photographs taken in Sardenia by Guilio Guzzoni. There are also negatives and slides.
