CHADASCH Style
Herbert Rösler was a self-taught artist, born on June 15, 1924, in Stuttgart-West as the youngest of three children. After an apprenticeship as a technical merchant, he voluntarily joined the war in Africa at 18 as a tank soldier. Initially driven by youthful adventurousness, Rösler quickly emerged as a pacifist, becoming one of the first global citizens after the war. During his time in American captivity, where he worked as a lumberjack and cotton picker, his first lyrical verses and graphite drawings were created. After the war, he initially wanted to study with Professor Willi Baumeister, but the circumstances of the time did not allow it. Instead, he earned his first post-war income through activities such as cinema poster painting, writing advertising signs, and record advertising. Around 1959, he moved with his young wife and two small children to Cologne to take on the role of chief decorator at the record company Elektrola (EMI). He organized, among other things, the decoration for the Callas tour, the Wagner Festival, the Bach Week in Ansbach, and much more. After a few years in this role, he took over the management of a large studio for advertising photography.
Due to probable overwork, he suffered a stroke at a relatively young age, necessitating the sale of the large studio to Westag. After recovering to a certain extent, he worked as a freelance graphic designer for various companies in Cologne, such as Cologne perfumeries, the Gerling Group, the City of Cologne, the Cologne Zoo, and others.
In 1968, his life fundamentally changed through a significant spiritual experience, leading him to found the "Group 91." This group consisted of mostly young, like-minded individuals from across Germany who accompanied him on his life path from that point on and continue to further his artistic work today. Throughout the years, Rösler painted more or less, but this became especially intense after a long journey to the Mediterranean in 1979. In 1983, Rösler and part of Group 91 suffered a very serious car accident, which cost him 90% of his eyesight. One eye was left blind, and the other retained only 10% vision. Since that time, Herbert Rösler wore his now characteristic dark glasses. Despite this setback, his positive nature and outlook on life allowed him to create the majority of his artistic oeuvre. Rösler's art style, encompassing all areas of life such as painting, graphics, sculptures, architecture, fashion-furniture-jewelry design, as well as poetry, prose, and music, is named "CHADASCH," which means "NEW" in Hebrew. The motto of Rösler and Group 91 was and is "FOR A NEW WORLD." Herbert Rösler passed away on November 11, 2006, in Tübingen at the age of 82 with the words "Everything will be fine," leaving behind a colossal artistic treasure for his friends and companions of Group 91, which can be seen in the G91 Building in Tübingen.
