Otto Mueller

Otto Mueller (1874-1930) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker, and one of the founding members of the group Die Brücke ("The Bridge"), a movement that emerged in Germany in the early 20th century.

Mueller's art is characterized by its bold use of color, simplified forms, and a strong interest in the human figure, particularly the nude. He often depicted scenes of rural life, and his paintings and prints frequently featured images of women and children.

Mueller's early work was influenced by the art of Vincent van Gogh and the Fauvists, but he later developed his own distinctive style that incorporated elements of primitivism and folk art. He was also an accomplished printmaker, creating woodcuts and lithographs that often featured stylized, graphic images.
