Alfred Rozelaar Green (London, 1917 – Paris, 2013)
British artist and founder of the Anglo-French Art Center in St. John's Wood. He studied in London at the Central School of Art in 1937. The following year he went to Paris to study Fine Arts at the Académie Julian and under the tutelage of the social realist painter Marcel Gromaire.
On his return after the Second World War, he established the Center for Anglo-French Art in St. John's Wood, London, where he invited artists from France and elsewhere to exhibit and teach.
These included Fernand Léger, Robert Couturier, Jean Lurçat, Germaine Richier, Óscar Domínguez, Marc Saint-Saëns, Oskar Kokoschka and Antoni Clavé. The Art Center also received support from British artists of the time, such as Francis Bacon, Henry Moore, Julian Trevelyan, Graham Sutherland and Victor Pasmore, who visited and lectured frequently.
