Born in Czechia 25th may 1902, this photographer was really ahead of his time doing abstract art. He only had black and white photography at his dispense at the time but he made it work, to me this makes his work look sharper and more intriguing.
| 1923: | In 1923, he became a member of the avant-garde association Devětsil. |
| 1925: | In 1925, he went on a six-month study visit to Paris. |
| 1927: | In 1927, Rössler moved to Paris together with his wife, Gertruda Fischerová (1894–1976). |
| 1935: | Shortly after that he was arrested, and after a six-month imprisonment he was expelled from the country, in 1935. |
| 1990: | Jaroslav Rössler died on January 05, 1990 in Prague, Czech Republic. |
Even to today, Jaroslav Rössler with František Drtikol, Josef Sudek and Jaromír Funke, is today considered an important exponent of Czech modern photography and avant-garde art. Its very hard to find proper sources for Jaroslav, the only sources where i figured everything out is the wikipedia page. He later died Smilov – 5 January 1990, Prague.
