Robert C. Rore (born 1954 in Berchtesgaden, Germany) is a German artist and illustrator. Life Rore did an apprenticeship as an assistant chemist before he studied art history in Munich and was simultaneously admitted to courses in painting nudes at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. His first Solo exhibition was in 1982, the same year he became a professional artist. As an illustrator he works for publishers, companies and associations. Since 1985 he teaches painting in Munich and at summer academies. He participated in group shows at galleries, museums and Kunstvereine [de] in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and the USA. He had solo shows in several museums in Bavaria and is regularly shown in galleries in Munich. Works Robert C. Rore began in 1970 with surrealistic paintings, moved to pencil and colored pencil before he developed an individual style of Etchings around 1985 that culminated in neobaroque works with surrealistic elements, in a style reminding of Juan Sánchez Cotán. In the mid 1980s he also added hyper realistic aquarelles of still lifes and landscapes to his portfolio. For the latter he claims John Singer Sargent as model. By the late 1990s he moved to painting humans, mostly the male body. His style became impressionistic and lighter,[1] comparable to the later works of Joaquín Sorolla. His male nudes have been described as ″body cult″ and ″erotic″ works[2] by the Süddeutsche Zeitung. https://aglutinart.blogspot.com/
