Edward Rosenfeld (1906 - 1983) Oil on Cardboard, Signed, Measures ( 10 x 12 inches ) w/frame ( 15 x 18 inches ) Rosenfeld, a native of the city of Baltimore, once told an interviewer, "My ambition in life was to be a sign painter. The first time I saw someone leaning over way up high on a scaffold, I knew what I wanted to be." He achieved this goal working for Standard Oil until his artistic potential was recognized, and the company sent him to night school at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Rosenfeld specialized in views of his beloved city and was greatly admired for the honesty of his vision and for his rejection of prevailing fads and conceits. Richmond Market was located not far from the artist's inner city home. Rosenfeld's paintings were exhibited at the Museum in 1960.
