As a young man, he studied with Willard Van Dyke, one of the founders of the f64 group of photographers, student of Edward Weston and Curator of Film at the Museum of Modern Art, NYC. Jonathan began to actively exhibit his work in 1984 and has had over 80 exhibitions since.

Artist's Statement
In approaching the landscape I consider the light, the elements in the frame. Do they converge together and form a totality energy system? I look for the soul in the landscape and the landscape of the soul. Two artists whose work I try to emulate are William Blake, with his wonderful light and energies and Vincent Van Gogh, his madly swirling lines. Finally, does the piece have that quality of transcendence?
Jonathan Martin Rosen passed away May 2, 1999 as we were informed from a close friend. If you are interested in the artwork for an exhibition or sold work please contact Beth Merriman <[email protected]>
