||||||||||||||||||
| Educated in Weimar (Arts and Crafts College and then College of Visual Arts) between 1909 and 1914, Roehl attended the Arts and Crafts College in Berlin during the Great War, while on active military service, where he was tutored by E.R. Weiss. In 1919 he studied at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where he became influenced by Theo van Duisburg. From 1921 to 1925 he painted professionally, participating to the Constructivist-Dadaist Congress in Weimar. By now his transition from Expressionism to Constructivism was completed, and he developed a highly personal style. He then moved to teaching primary school pupils, until 1942, when he was drafted into military service again and ended up as a POW. He continued his art pedagogical vocation after the war and his liberation, turning towards Abstract Expressionism.
