Described as a "volcanic expressionist"; and a painter of "chromatic fury";, Gustav Rehberger worked in oil, gouache, pencil and pen to create artwork where "every stroke was charged with a continuous flow of activity; whirling, driving--a blaze of tempests, turbulence, exciting commotion when one would expect the subject to leap off the paper or canvas"

In addition to expressionist paintings, Rehberger did drawings and paintings of human figures, horse subjects and apocalyptic themesthat expressed from his strong religious beliefs. He was born in Riedlingsdorf, Austria and showed early art talent.

When he was age 13, he emigrated to Chicago with his family, and the next year won a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. At that time, a newspaper carried the headline: "Austrian school-boy ice artist wins chance for career", a reference to an ice carving in Chicago's Mozart School playground he had done of a detailed Austrian mountain landscape.

He took commercial artwork employment including graphic design, industrial design, illustration and some sculpture.

During World War II, he served in the United States Air Force and then established a studio in Carnegie Hall in New York City. He taught portrait painting, composition, figure drawing and figure painting at the Art Students League. Emphasizing the importance of education, he said: . . ."worthwhile art is never achieved by mere accident"
