'''Jack Roth''' (also known as '''Rodney Jack Roth''') (1927–2004) was a 20th century [[United States|American]] painter who developed a style as an [[Abstract Expressionist]], and as a [[Color Field]] painter. After studying with [[Mark Rothko]] at the [[California School of Fine Arts]], he received a [[Master of Fine Arts]] from the [[State University of Iowa]] in 1952, and a [[PhD|doctoral degree]] in [[mathematics]] from [[Duke University]] in 1962. He taught math at [[Ramapo College]] in [[New Jersey]], and also taught for brief periods at the [[University of South Florida]] and the [[University of Kentucky]].
