The Architects' Photographer
To
the leading Swedish architects between the two world wars, a building
was not finished until Rosenberg had photographed it. He did it with
precision, perfect balance and supreme composition from the optimal
viewpoints.
A Master of Nature
From
1923 to the mid 1950s he photographed the Swedish countryside, from the
rich agrarian areas in the South to the mountains and mines in the
North, for the Swedish Tourist Association's books; the annual as well
as books presenting cities or Sweden at large.
Industry Perspectives
The
master of outdoor light handled the chiaroscuro of the industry with
the same aplomb. His perspective lines drew diagonals over the
precisely framed interiors.
An Elusive Man
His
presence in print was obvious, his influence on photographers
inevitable, but as a person he still remains an enigma. He shunned
public appearances, he even died and was buried without publicity. "He
left this life as quiet and discreet as he used to disappear from
meetings and assemblies to walk his own paths. He was a proud and
reticent man who avoided noise and vanity", the obituary said.
