Jerome Rozen was born in Chicago and grew up in Arizona, where he first took art classes from a local teacher.  After serving in the army during World War I, Rozen visited the Louvre in Paris and was inspired to pursue a career as an artist.  Upon returning home, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago.  He was eventually hired as an instructor at the Institute.  He also found success painting covers for pulp magazines like The Shadow, Battle Stories, Wu Fang Mysteries, and Western Story.  During World War II, Rozen also designed several patriotic posters and magazine advertisements.

A small sampling of his work can be found below.
