Rose Iron Works and an Art Deco Masterpiece
About the Program
In September of 2021, ADSNY hosted a virtual illustrated talk about Rose Iron Works in Cleveland Ohio, with Bob Rose, its third generation President. At the end of his engaging talk, Bob showed an image of one of their iconic creations and made a casual comment that resulted in an important addition to American Deco metalwork history.
Join us over Zoom to hear the story of how that one comment resulted in the creation of a series of two new masterpieces in the history of American Deco metalwork, which was visited by over 55,000 visitors last summer at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Bob will provide a brief review of his family business as the leading American Art Deco metalwork firm in the 1920s and 30. Then he will take us step by step into the design and creation of two new Muse screens one hundred years after the original creation. Bob will share stories about the decisions involved in accepting such a commission, the many aspects involved in designing the new works and the techniques, processes and tools used in their creation.
Can't join us at the time of the live Zoom event ? No problem! Those who register will receive a recording of the entire program a few days after the live presentation so you can watch at a time more convenient for you.
About the Speaker
Bob Rose is the current and third family generation president of Rose Iron Works, an acclaimed leader in high end decorative and Deco metalwork. The Northeast Ohio blacksmith studio, founded in 1904 has played a significant role in the design and production of important Art Deco metalwork pieces. Bob calls upon a formal background in Mechanical Engineering combined with a lifetime of artistic involvement, to direct the decorative work of Rose Metal Industries. One of Bob’s passions is to spread the word about his family’s contribution to design and craftsmanship during the heyday of Art Deco.
