1874 -1930 · Brücke, matte tempera and figures in nature
Otto Mueller reduces the figure to a flexible line and an earth color: bathers, couples and woods make up a modern, calm and fragile Arcadia.
Otto Mueller was born in 1874 in Liebau in Silesia, today Lubawka in Poland. After an apprenticeship as a lithographer in Görlitz, he studied at the Dresden Academy then continued his training alone in Munich. Installed in Berlin in 1907, he joined Die Brücke in 1910 and remained a member until the dissolution of the group in 1913. He shared with Kirchner, Heckel and Pechstein the desire to unite art and life, notably through the nude painted in the studio and outdoors. His language remains singular. However, he prefers oil tempera and applies it on coarse canvas or burlap, obtaining a matte surface close to the fresco. Three women in a wood show his elongated bodies, surrounded by a dark line and placed in simplified vegetation. His palette of greens, ochres, browns and pinks remains more restrained than that of many expressionists. After World War I, Mueller became a professor at the Breslau Academy, one of the most open schools in the Weimar Republic, where he had significant influence for more than ten years. From 1924, his travels to South-Eastern Europe nourished images of Roma and Sinti communities. These works must today be read both as a search for a free life and as idealized projections of an external artist. The "Otto Mueller" selection offers its own journey on this subject. composition.
Mueller doesn't make color scream: the matte tempera, jute and slow line give the body a silent, almost wall-mounted presence.
