After finishing school, Richard Ziegler went to the UK for one year, After that, he studied philology at Geneva, Greifswald and Heidelberg. During his university years, art was not yet a main concern of his. Upon graduating as a philosophical doctor, however, he made up his mind to become a painter. He worked in book illustration, woodcut and oil painting. In 1925, Ziegler settled in Berlin as a free artist, but in 1933, after the Nazis had seized power, he turned his back on Germany. Until 1937 he lived on the Yogoslav island of Korčula, where he accomplished three series of monotypes reflecting the political development in Germany. From 1937 to the end of the war, Ziegler lived in England. In 1963, he resettled in Mallorca. There, he created his "expressive-realistic" late work. Richard Ziegler spent his final years back in his hometown of Pforzheim in Baden-Wuerttemberg.
