1890 - 1983
During his youth Rosenberg studied under Ellis F. Lawrence at the University of Oregon's School of Architecture and later pursued his education in architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduating from M.I.T. in 1914 he returned to Portland to teach architectural rendering at the University of Oregon.
After the end of World War I, Rosenberg traveled to Europe and pursued his studies at the American Academy in Rome and at the Royal College of Art in London. During his sojourn abroad, he became increasingly interested in etching and he began to publish his prints in Fine Print in 1924. By 1929 his reputation as an etcher was such that Modern Masters in Etching devoted an entire issue to his works. He was elected an associate member of the National Academy in 1932 and an Academician in 1936. Although Rosenberg continued to produce etchings and dry-points throughout his career, finances forced him to return to architecture during the mid-1940s. After working briefly for Glenn Stanton and Hollis Johnson in Portland, he joined the firm York and Sawyer.
