The Ancestors (1973-1975)
Paintings
I met Rozen at Royaumont Abbey about ten years ago. At the time, he was expressing himself in a very realistic way, as a teenager who was not afraid to open doors. [Today, at] 36, he does not yet know where he is going, but he knows that he has taken hold of life and that he can dispose of it as a sower in multiple fields of expression ….
Pierre Béarn, poet, text for the exhibition “ROZEN” at the Simone Badinier Gallery, 1974.
Rozen, “a painter who dares to incorporate himself in his painting, who does not fear to overload it with feeling, passion, love, anguish, pain, dreams.”
Gilles Plazy, “Rozen and Freedom,” Le Quotidien de Paris, June 1975.
