Description: Vintage 1952 original Marvin "Dan" Rohn watercolor painting, signed and dated lower left. 21 1/2" by 13". Please see pictures for details and condition. "Marvin Daniel “Dan” Rohn, was born in 1932 in Wadsworth, Ohio. Rohn received his BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1961. While attending the Cleveland Institute of Art, he met fellow student Mary Grace Baker, and the two were married in 1954. During those years, Mr. Rohn also sang as a promising tenor under Robert Lawson Shaw in the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus. The couple lived for a time in the same apartment building as a young Roy Lichtenstein and his wife, socializing in their rooms amidst piles of Lichtenstein’s interesting, as yet unrenowned, pop art. He earned his MFA in painting and printmaking from the Yale University School of Art in 1964. He was a graduate assistant to Gabor Peterdi in stone lithography and a technical assistant and printmaker at the Universal Limited Art Editions studio in Long Island, New York, where he printed for Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. In 1966 he began teaching at the Kent State School of Art and conducted the master’s program in lithography until his retirement. On May 4, 1971, he was on campus the day Nixon called in the Ohio National Guard and four students were tragically shot dead; later, he taught art to many colorful characters including members of the experimental New Wave band Devo, and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. Mr. Rohn eventually left lithography for photography, and was part of a small but passionate movement interested in reviving platinum/palladium printing. He exhibited his work widely for many decades; one of his pieces is part of the permanent collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, and another graced the cover of a major edition of the collected poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay."
