About
Jaroslav Rössler (1902–1990) was a Czech photographer and is regarded as one of the important representatives of Czech avant-garde photography in the 20th century. As a youth he worked at the Prague studio of the renowned photographer František Drtikol. In the 1920s Rössler belonged to the influential artist group Devětsil and developed an experimental visual language between Constructivism, Abstraction, and New Photography.
Characteristic of Rössler's work are geometric compositions of light and shadow, photomontages, and experimental processes such as solarization, negative printing, multiple exposure, and prism photography. His exceptionally early abstract photographs place him, in art history, alongside Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy. Today Jaroslav Rössler is regarded as an important pioneer of modern European photography and as a central figure of Czech photo avant-garde.
