Albert Mueller (painter)
Albert Mueller (born March 16, 1884 in Schwandorf ; † 1963 in Bremen ) was a German graphic artist and painter and an important representative of the Stuttgart avant-garde in the first third of the 20th century.
Mueller was a master student of Adolf Hölzel at the Stuttgart Art Academy . His paintings as well as his watercolors are characterized by a well-advanced formal reduction and an intense, explosive color force. From around 1920 his works clearly became the bearer of certain inner feelings, spiritual values or an inner worldview. The artist designed a fictional, symbolic world that opens up transcendent spheres of space. His brightly colored motifs initially took up stylistic elements of Cubism , before they later switched to elements of New Objectivity .
In 1919 Albert Mueller co-founded the so-called Stuttgart Üecht Group and the "Group 1929 Stuttgart."
