Fred
Rosebury
American
1901-1999
Fred Rosebury,
perhaps better known as an inventor, engineer and research scientist,
was an inventive and unique painter and printmaker. After quitting
high school, Rosebury worked as a radio operator on tankers in
the 1920s. He later studied at City College of New York, Columbia,
and Cooper Union where he studied commercial art. He began work
as a radio engineer and eventually joined the Radiation Labratory
at MIT in 1942. He later headed the Vacuum Tube Labratory at
MIT. Rosebury invented several radar devices, equipment for NASA,
and wrote the seminal Handbook of Electron Tubes and Vacuum
Techniques. Rosebury was also a noted printmaker and painter,
exhibiting his work at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the
Society of Independent Artists. He was a pioneer in modernist
screenprinting, becoming an early devotee of the innovative technique
develped in the 1940s.
