"Recommended. Salazar expounds on the meaning of his work, art versus commerce, and other topics; also quotes from Matisse, O'Keeffe and Picasso are interspersed."
-Booklist
Popularly known as "Salazar," Roland Rose is a unique artist who inspires artists and lovers of art with his commitment to "pure" art, "painting what's inside you, painting what you feel." In this biographical program we see his abstract-expressionistic paintings confirm his devotion to painting for the joy of expressing his feelings, not solely for commercial gain. With Salazar each original is unique, there are no copies. Inspired by his time spent in Maine and Mexico, here we see examples of the artist's major works, while learning of his life, his philosophies, and a Jewish heritage he discovered late in life.
