Zigeunerliebespaar 1916

"Zigeunerliebespaar" (Gypsy Love Couple), painted by Otto Mueller in 1916, portrays a couple standing close together, suggesting an intimate embrace. The painting's simple, bold forms and muted color palette are characteristic of Expressionism, a movement that aimed to capture emotion rather than realism. The work's subject matter, a romanticized portrayal of Roma culture, reflects the themes of love, passion, and social alienation common in Mueller's oeuvre. "Zigeunerliebespaar" is currently housed in the Hoesch-Museum in Dortmund, Germany.
