Manuel Rosé

Manuel Rosé (Las Piedras,1882-Montevideo,1961) was a painter that painted prosaic and everyday themes: gardens, circuses, landscapes, and historical events. Rosé was a painter of a basically optimistic time in Uruguay, a proud one, proud of his past and betting on a prosperous future that did not consolidate, he died at the beginning of the decline of the "fragile prosperity" of a country that thought it was free of the adverse events that the region was experiencing" (HKB Translation) Page 9.
