Jaroslav Rössler

From 1917 to 1920, Rössler studied in the atelier of the company owned by renowned Czech photographer František Drtikol.

As a 21 years old, he began collaboration with the art theorist Karel Teige, who assigned him to create typographic layout for magazines Pásmo, Disk, Stavba and ReD (Revue Devětsilu).

He collaborated with the experimental studio of Lucien Lorell, and worked on commissions for notable companies such as Michelin and Shell.

He opened a small photographic atelier, but difficulties associated with the management of the studio caused a significant gap in his artistic work, lasting for almost two decades.

Jaroslav Rössler, together with František Drtikol, Josef Sudek and Jaromír Funke, is today considered an important exponent of Czech modern photography and avant-garde art.
