Louise Rösler

The high-quality, highly independent work of Louise Rösler (1907-1993) is one of the remarkable positions in 20th-century German art that is still waiting to be discovered. This volume accompanies and complements the artist's retrospective at the Giersch Museum of Goethe University in Frankfurt. In an extensive catalog section, along with explanatory texts, it presents the diverse oeuvre of the painter and graphic artist, which includes not only paintings but also collages, works in colored and felt-tip pens, watercolors, pastels, and print graphics. At the same time, the book traces the biography of a woman who dedicated her life to her artistic endeavors despite numerous setbacks and adverse circumstances.
