Live and act
Diener lived in Hamburg since 1910. He attended the State Art School Hamburg from 1927 to 1931 , where he was trained by Arthur Illies (1870–1952). During the Third Reich, Rolf Diener was employed as a toolmaker. He began to work artistically again in 1945 and studied from 1948 to 1951 with Arnold Fiedler (1900–1985) at the “ Baukreis ” in Hamburg. Rolf Diener's work was shaped by his exploration of key trends in classical modernism and his turn to abstract painting. In 1957 a solo exhibition of his works took place in the Hamburger Kunsthalle .
