Oskar Mulley

Oskar Mulley (born April 22, 1891 in Klagenfurt , Austria-Hungary , † January 15, 1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen ) was an Austrian painter.

Life

Mulley's talent for painting was discovered in the ten year old. He studied for a year in Munich at the municipal trade school (1909) and then from 1910–1913 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Alois Delug and Rudolf Jettmar . After a short period as a theater painter, Mulley lived in Kufstein in Tyrol from 1918 to 1934 and made a name for himself as a mountain painter . Mulley's works became so popular after 1930 that the painter even had to initiate a plagiarism lawsuit against a forger. He spent the last phase of his life in Garmisch-Partenkirchen .

His early work during his time at the academy is characterized by the depiction of rural life (landscapes, farmhouses and (rural) still lifes). In his Kufstein period, mountain motifs dominate, which are always free from the representation of people. His Garmisch creative period is characterized by a softer and more flowing color scheme. Mulley's gloomy “heroic” landscapes with impasto application of paint and spatula technique were particularly valued at the time of National Socialism .

Awards

In 1937 he received the Austrian Golden State Medal for Fine Arts.
