Good day dear Hive Community, at the beginning of my post I would like to welcome you all and hope you are all well! In this article, I would like to talk a little about art and hope you can expand your knowledge a little.
Here you can see three paintings by the artist Otto Mueller (1874 - 1930) who is considered an important painter of Expressionism and he was born in Poland as the son of a former officer. Early on, he devoted himself to art in his spare time and and at the age of 16 Years, he began an apprenticeship as a lithographer and then he went to Germany to the city of Dresden to study art and in the coming years he went on a lot of trips to Italy as well as Switzerland where he had the opportunity to live with relatives and in 1898 he went to the city of Munich to continue his studies. He was probably co-shaped by his father when it comes to starting a career as an artist and he is probably one of the most important artists of Expressionism and in his early years he was much influenced by Impressionism and Symbolism. In the coming years he lived very secluded and devoted himself to his art and in 1905 and married his wife Maria Meyerhofer whom he had already met a few years earlier and together the two had a son. Three years later he moved to Berlin where he had joined a group of artists which was also known as Brücke and thus he made some contacts that were advantageous for his Career and his popularity as an artist increased more and more. During the First World War, he had to break off his career at that time and was called to the front, but this should not prevent him from continuing to pursue his art and in 1919 he was even appointed professor in an art academy in Poland and began to spread his knowledge and over 10 years he pursued this activity while he also devoted himself to his art at the same time. During this time he also separated from his wife, but the two continued to maintain a good relationship and with his new wife he also traveled a lot and made many lithographs on his trip and in 1930 he became ill and died due to illness. Despite his death, some of his works were destroyed and suppressed at that time and almost 400 of his works were destroyed and he was particularly inspired by nature and was also very enthusiastic about people as a motif and painted numerous nude paintings.
Thank you very much for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about art! I captured pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens!
