The Delaware in Winter

c. 1918

Charles Rosen (American, 1878–1950)

Charles Rosen was a major figure in the second generation of Pennsylvania Impressionists. Having earlier studied with painter William Merritt Chase (American, 1849 - 1916) at the National Academy of Design in New York, Rosen moved to New Hope in 1903. Although he was very much influenced by the landscapes of Edward Redfield (American, 1869 - 1965), Rosen's paintings were more modernist than those by other New Hope artists, employing short, almost pointillist, brushstrokes that created flickering light effects. In 1920, following his move to Woodstock, New York, Rosen abandoned the Impressionist style in favor of pure abstraction.
