resume

Her parents were Waldemar Rösler and Oda Hardt-Rösler . From 1923 she attended the private art school Hans Hofmann in Munich and from 1925 to 1927 the college for the fine arts in Berlin with Karl Hofer . From 1928 to 1930 she studied for a short time at the Académie de l'Art Moderne under Fernand Léger and went on study trips with her future husband, the painter Walter Kröhnke , to southern France, Spain and Italy. In 1933 she married Walter Kröhnke and then lived with him in Berlin. Both daughter Anka was born in 1940. Two sons, Alexander (* and † 1939) and Andreas (* and † 1944) each died soon after their birth.

Before 1933, Louise Rösler had participated in exhibitions of the Berlin Secession and Berlin at Pariser Platz. After that, there were no more exhibition opportunities for the time being. An exhibition in the Buchholz Gallery was closed in 1938 by the Reich Chamber of Culture . In 1943 the studio and a large part of the production were lost in a bomb attack; only a few pictures could be saved by relocating them to Bavaria. Thereafter Luise Rösler was evacuated to Königstein im Taunus and expelled from the Reich Chamber of Culture and a " color ban ".

She returned to Berlin in 1959. A stay in Paris in 1968 inspired her to create a series of dynamic collages . From 1974 onwards she stayed variously in the studio of the artists' guild in Cuxhaven ; numerous works were created on paper. In 1990 she received an honorary scholarship from the Berlin Senator for Cultural Affairs. From 1991 to 1993 she stayed with her daughter Anka Kröhnke in Hamburg because of a serious illness . She worked until shortly before her death.

Louise Rösler was a member of the German Association of Artists . Between 1952 and 1971 she took part in several large annual DKB exhibitions.
