More by Otto Mueller

“I have always taken the art of the ancient Egyptians as my model, even in purely technical matters.”

“By new style I meant mainly technical aspects. It is impossible to experience things from an entirely new angle through will-power; it has to mature in solitude.”

“My principle aim is to express my experience of landscape and human beings with the greatest possible simplicity.”

“Since I am not well and have difficulty walking.. .More than anything else, I need lots of rest; even letter-writing is a strain.”

“I depict my life and experiences in my works of art.”

“I will try to develop an entirely new style and I am sure I will succeed.”
