Theodore Roszak, 1936


Theodore Roszak (May 1, 1907 – September 2, 1981) was a Polish-American sculptor and painter. He was born in Posen, Prussia (German Empire), now PoznaƄ, Poland, as a son of Polish parents, and emigrated to the United States at the age of two.
He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, winning the Logan Medal of the Arts in 1930. Roszak established a studio in New York City in 1932 and taught at Sarah Lawrence College throughout the 1940s and 1950s and at Columbia University from 1970 to 1973. Roszak's sculpture, at first closer to Constructivism and displaying an industrial aesthetic, changed after around 1946 to a more expressionistic style.
Roszak was affiliated with the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the National Institute of Arts and Letters, the American Academy in Rome, and the National Academy of Design. He served on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts from 1963 to 1969
