Otto Mueller. Catalogue Raisonné, 2 Teile

The catalog of paintings, drawings, and watercolors by the Expressionist Otto Mueller is being released in an updated and significantly expanded form after its initial publication in 2003. Despite being part of the "Brücke" artists, Otto Mueller developed an individual style. His work is independent and distinctive, surprisingly multifaceted and nuanced. Mueller varies his sensitive images of bathers, nudes, and portraits in interiors, as well as his pronounced empathy for the lives of the Roma, focusing uncompromisingly on a few subjects. Otto Mueller is one of the most important painters of Expressionism. His quest for paradisiacal harmony and a connection to nature is a hallmark of his works, which is particularly reflected in his impressive paper works. With colored pencil drawings, pastels, and watercolors, he finds an intimate approach to his models and themes. "The main goal of my striving is," the artist stated in 1919, "to express feelings of landscape and humanity with the greatest possible simplicity.".
