Indietro From 1960 to 1963 he studied Painting with Professor Wildemann at State Academy of Figurative Arts in Stuttgart. He then started reading Art History at J.W. Goethe University in Frankfurt. Some of his first works are affected by his hanging around with German painters such as Heinz Kreuz and Otto Greis belonging to “Quadriga”, a very famous group at the time. Rögler immediately gave up with excessive polychromy, preferring the essentiality of white and grey. Direct influence of the Group “Zero”. A new polychromy deriving from the application of Goethe’s colour-theory and a great admiration for Claude Monet. Elaboration of his own chromatic conception based on black, white, green and red. Simultaneous juxtaposition of different varieties of colours of crescent complexity and always aiming at a perfect balance. At the same time creation of an imaginary, tangible pictorial space, in contrast with illusion and representation. Gradual dominance of a primary colour and moving of the complementary colour towards the lateral margin. Michael Rögler afterwards pointed his interest to the activity of the so-called American abstract expressionism (Rothko, Newman). He collaborated for several years with Appel Gallery in Frankfurt and Rabus Gallery in Bremen, which would often represent him at Koln, Frankfurt and Basel Fairs. Particularly important was his participation to the exhibition “Die Farbe hat mich” set up by Michael Fehr during 2000 New Year’s Eve, at Ernst Osthaus Museum in Hagen. This exhibition reached New York with the title “Seeing Red” and Budapest with the title “Colour a life its own”. Other exhibitions: Landesmuseum in Oldenburg, Oberhessisches Museum in Gieβen, Städtische Gallerie in Schwäbisch Hall; during all of them he sold some works. Works have also been sold to Museum Neue Galerie in Kassel, Mannheim Art Gallery and to Clemens Sels Museum in Neuss. Numerous collaborations with many Frankfurt institutions. In Frankfurt Cultural Association, Peter Weiermair authorized the set-up of a solo show in 1996.
