Overview

"Dual Nature is the first monograph to explore the remarkable life and career of American artist Jane Rosen, whose work in stone, glass, and on paper spans more than four decades. Born and raised in New York, Rosen established her reputation as a keen observer and interpreter of the modern world in the high-energy, experimental art scene of the 1970s and 1980s SoHo and Greenwich Village. In 1989, she took a leave from city life and rented a home situated on a ranch in Northern California. Her bold decision to escape the familiar and work closer to nature would dramatically expand her art -- forever reinforcing the ""dual nature"" of her rich creative life, influenced by both East Coast and West Coast, culture and nature, minimalism and imagery. In more than 180 photographs, including many pages from Rosen's personal journals, Dual Nature reflects on the range of the artist's most important work and most meaningful influences -- including family, friends, mentors, students, and the hawks, foxes, horses, and beloved rescue dogs she has encountered in a life of constant artistic exploration."
