Otto Müller was a German painter and
printmaker of the Die Brücke expressionist movement. Mueller was born in Liebau
(now Lubawka, Kamienna Góra County), Kreis Landeshut, Silesia. Between 1890 and
1892 he was trained in lithography in Görlitz and Breslau. From 1894 to 1896 he
studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and continued his study in
Munich during 1898. He left Munich's academy after Franz von Stuck classified
him as untalented. His early works are influenced by impressionism, Jugendstil
and Symbolism. When he settled to Berlin in 1908, his style became more
expressionist. During this time there were meetings with Wilhelm Lehmbruck,
Rainer Maria Rilke and Erich Heckel. In 1910, he joined 'Die Brücke', a
Dresden-based group of Expressionist artists. He was member of the group until
it disbanded in 1913 due to artistic differences. At the same time Mueller also
had contact with the artists group 'Der Blaue Reiter'. During World War I he
fought as a German soldier in France and Russia. After the war he became a
professor at the academy of arts (Akademie der Bildenden Kunste) in Breslau
where he taught until his death on 24 September 1930.
