Attributed to Otto Muller, German, 1874 to 1930, a crayon painting on paper painting depicting a portrait of a nude woman in a landscape. Signed lower right. Completed with a certificate of authenticity, signed and stamped. Otto Muller was a German painter and printmaker of the Die Brucke expressionist movement. Between 1890 and 1892 he was trained in lithography in Gorlitz and Breslau. From 1894 to 1896 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and continued his study in Munich during 1898. He left Munich's academy after Franz von Stuck classified him as untalented. His early works are influenced by impressionism, Jugendstil and Symbolism. When he settled in Berlin in 1908, his style became more expressionist. During this time there were meetings with Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Rainer Maria Rilke and Erich Heckel. In 1910, he joined Die Brucke, a Dresden-based group of Expressionist artists. He was a member of the group until it disbanded in 1913 due to artistic differences. At the same time Mueller also had contact with the artists group Der Blaue Reiter. Mueller was one of the most lyrical of German expressionist painters. The main topic of Muellers works is the unity of humans and nature; his paintings emphasize a harmonious simplification of form, color and contours. One of a kind artwork.
