Rolanda, Rosa, 1895-1970

Rosa Rolanda was an American multidisciplinary artist, dancer, and choreographer.

She was born in Azusa, California on September 6, 1895. Her father, Henry Charles Cowan, was an engineer and her mother, Guadalupe Ruelas, was of Mexican descent. Rolanda began her artistic career in New York in 1916 as a celebrated dancer in vaudeville and Broadway revues. She became involved with the Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias in 1924, and in the following year the couple traveled to Mexico, where Rolanda began to take photographs. Albums of her images were published in Covarrubias's best-selling books, Island of Bali (1937) and Mexico South: Isthmus of Tehuantepec (1946). Her work was also featured in the "Ameridinian" issue of Wolfgang Paalen's journal, DYN, published in 1943.
