Beautiful women and horses have always been Howard Rogers' favorite subjects. After graduating from Los Angeles Art Center of Design, Howard launched a successful career as an illustrator in New York. During this period, he created hundreds of book covers for romance novels and became acclaimed for his paintings of beautiful women. His work also appeared on many magazine covers, numerous prints, and the "Gone With the Wind" limited edition plate series. In 1980, he started his gallery career with a collection of western paintings. Today, Howard is creating paintings with a full range of subject matter for galleries across the country. Ten years ago, Howard began producing bronze sculptures of his elegant women.
Some years ago, Howard and his wife, Bonnie, moved to Arizona and recently completed construction of a beautiful home north of Phoenix which they designed. It reflects their creativity and compliments the inspirational landscapes which surround them. While Howard spends time painting and sculpting in his new studio, Bonnie continues to ride and show quarter horses.
Articles on Howard have appeared in Art of the West, Art Talk Magazine, Southwest Art, International Fine Art Collector, Focus/Santa Fe, Southwest Profile and Art of the West-Studio. Howard Rogers has become "The Artist" to collect.
Here is an interesting fact: I hadn't heard of Mr Rogers and so like a good academic did a little research and sought his website. What delight to see his webpage, Mr Rogers standing beneath the magnificent ceiling of St Ignatius, painted of course by Andrea Pozzo.
Now, the question of course is what significance is this to Mr Rogers oeuvre. One has to look then at the work closely and his titles - First eve, Birth of Adam Adam etc etc. The significance of Christian imagery is prevalent, yet Rogers paints these themes as if he is on a psychologist couch attending Freudian therapy. The paintings to me reveal an inner turmoil, a wrestling with one selfs mortal fragility.
