Andreas Roth's life in Germany was challenged by deprivations following WW I and the events leading toward World War II. At age 60, Andreas Roth set on a daring move to leave his home and head for the U.S.
In Germany, he honed his artistic talents and trained as a successful landscape artist. He painted still lifes and landscapes, but especially enjoyed creating Alpine scenes in Austria. But in 1932, at age 60, he headed for California making Los Angels his new home. He corresponded with his son remaining in Germany. From these letters, the family says some politics were discussed, but

that Andreas emigrated to the U.S. because of artistic opportunities, not for religous or politcal reasons. In Los Angeles, Andreas energetically worked to reestablish his painting career. Over the next ten years, he explored the diverse scenery of California, its vast deserts, towering mountains, and dynamic sea coasts. In the early 1940's with Andreas now in his 70's, he still possessed a spirited willingness to travel and explore new locales to paint.

For Andreas, the Canadian Rockies were reminiscent of the Austrian Alps where he painted earlier in his career. Andreas has been exhibited at the Orange County Museum, and his distinctive style has garnered a loyal group of collectors.
