Max Rosen studied drawing, oil painting, printmaking, and sculpture in New York City in the 1970s at the famed High School of Music and Art. He also created many large murals, worked in spray paint as a part of the burgeoning Street Art movement, and studied animation at the School of Visual Arts.

After graduation, he worked for a year as an Artist’s Assistant in the studio of acclaimed painter, sculptor, filmmaker, comics artist, illustrator and author Robert Grossman. 

Next he studied Art History at Columbia University, where he graduated cum laude Phi Beta Kappa in 1984.

In 1986 Rosen entered television production, honing his skills at MTV, and co-producing Broadway Magazine, a half-hour weekly TV show about the Broadway Theater which ran for 4 seasons.

In 1990 he founded Indigo Productions, a prominent NYC film and video production company with a client list that includes Christie’s, BBC Arts, The National Gallery of Art, Times Square Arts, The Public Theater / Shakespeare in the Park, Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera, Sony Pictures, Viacom, Disney, Hulu, NYU, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia University.

In 2022 he returned with a vengeance to his first passions: Drawing, painting, printmaking and animation. Since then he has produced hundreds of works, including an edition of 50 museum-quality deluxe full color 23-plate fine art lithographs printed and published by the acclaimed PS Marlowe Fine Arts. 

Large scale oil paintings and sculptures will be available soon.
