Artist Biography:
Iver Rose was active/lived in Massachusetts and Illinois. Iver Rose is known for social realist genre and figure painting, illustration, lithography, and commercial art.
Iver Rose was born in Chicago at the turn of the 19th century. His introduction to art was through a drawing class at Hull-House, one of this country's best known social settlements, which was established in 1889 in the heart of Chicago's densely populated Near West Side neighborhood. Rose received additional instruction at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Cincinnati Academy of Art.

During the early 1920s, Rose moved to New York, where he found work as a commercial artist. When the Depression hit, he returned to Chicago and was employed for a time as an easel painter under the auspices of the WPA. Many of Rose's works dating from the 1930s and '40s have a social realism flavor.
