Artist's Biography:
Harold
Rotenberg was born in Attleboro, Massachusetts in 1905. He began his
studies at age 19 in Jerusalem at the Bazalel Academy, which taught students in
the tradition of French Post Impressionism.
His return to America in 1926 led him to Cape Ann, where he set up his first
studio in Gloucester. During these early years, he studied under Charles
Hawthorne and later with W. Lester Stevens. He was accepted on
scholarship to the Boston Museum School, where he studied for several years.
Rotenberg was a founding member of the Rockport Art Association in Rockport,
Mass.
He later became an influential teacher of painting at the Boston Museum, where
stayed for over ten years. During the 1930s, he headed the Art Department
of Hecht House and then taught at the School of Practical Art.
In 1946, he resumed his travels and attended two schools in Paris and one in
Vienna. In the early 1960s, he lived and painted exclusively in Paris and
moved to Safed, Israel in the late 60s to a studio he was to have for the next
25 years.
He returned to the United States in the 1970s, at which time he painted and
exhibited in New York.
He resided in Florida and continued to paint in his 90s. He was featured
in American Art Review magazine in 2000.
Rotenberg died in his sleep April 2, 2011 at his Winter Park, Florida
home.
He was 105, and until shortly before his passing, his health had been so good
that his physicians cleared him to travel once more to Israel.
Selected Exhibits include the Provincetown Gallery in Provincetown, the Rockport
Art Association in Rockport, the Galerie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the
Gloucester, Massachusetts Art Association.
