Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. “The first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock ‘n’ roll – I listened to the radio a lot – Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.
“I started surfing at fourteen. There was lots of classical music in my house. My father liked march music. There was a piano at home. I studied trumpet at ten, but nothing came of it. Then I started playing blues on the piano?no lessons though. When I was seventeen, I started playing guitar. I used my friend’s guitar. I didn’t get my own until I was eighteen. It was a Mexican flamenco guitar. I took flamenco lessons for a few months. I switched around from folk to flamenco to blues to rock ‘n’ roll.
“Records got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock ‘n’ roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn’t been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn’t have gone rock ‘n’ roll.
I didn’t plan on rock ‘n’ roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock ‘n’ roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock ‘n’ roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There’s no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz – which is dying – as far as making any money is concerned.
“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other’s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man’s ideas. Most groups today aren’t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.”
Most people know Robby Krieger as the consummate music artist in his role as former guitar player and songwriter of the legendary band The Doors.
What shouldn’t be surprising is that creativity has no boundaries and many times artistic expression will spill over into more then one medium for the artist.
Robby Krieger is no exception as demonstrated in his creation of a collection of spectacular, never-before-seen works of art…now available to art lovers and Robby fans.
Now, through the charity services organization, ART FOR A CAUSE, limited edition, giclee prints of his beautiful paintings will, for the first time, be available to the fans of Robby Krieger.
“I hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.” – Robby Krieger

I’d love to meet Robby Krieger. Just have a convo with him about life.
I want to like it because I'm a huge fan of the band. But I have a hard time with using the band to market himself as an artist......
Robbie really love your art. I’ve had this jacket since I was 15.
I’m sitting here listening to Lisa, Marie Presley, and I am sitting here very depressed since the day she left
Scotty would be so proud!!! Great job Robby Krieger!!!
Absolutely love that painting, great job Robby, very talented, also a huge doors fan . Always loved your guitar 🎸 work.
💙 U Robbie! I listen to your music every day.
I can't imagine myself being that age and still remembering and honoring a friend that I lost in my 20s. Robbie, you are a true friend!
For those with a keen eye, he painted all the letters the same colors to spell the anagram of his name! Mr Mojo Risin!
Wonderful work, Robby. You are an inspiration!
Nice work Mr Krieger. You are my favorite Door. Hard to choose between the four of you. Your art has influenced me my whole life.
Got to see him last year at the Des Plaines Theater with his son playing Jim Morrison .It was great 🇺🇸🎤🎸🎼💀
is that just horribly reflective glass over it, or did he paint it on glass? the text looks over, the head looks under

“Can I just tell you how fabulous you are,” a friendly, middle-aged woman with a warm smile says to 84-year-old legendary music photographer Henry Diltzsuch a legend and beautiful soul!!!! God bless you Henry!!! Robby too!!
Very nice guy, got to meet him in 2002 at Doorsfest LA 😎🤓 got him to take my picture with Ray Manzarek!
What a nice article! You I feel like I DO know him from his work, the looks people give him. Lot of love thru the lens both ways.
Been in Henry's corner since he was showing the world how it was done as part of the Modern Folk Quartet. Long time Monkees photographer and one of the good guys.
Henry was a guest on my show a few months ago The Flower Power Hour with Ken & MJ What amazing stories he had to tell☮️❤️
It was cool seeing you in the video at the party for Henry Diltz!
He seems to be the only one to take decent photos of Mama Cass
