Große Kniende 1926

"Große Kniende" (1926) by German Expressionist artist Otto Mueller (1874-1930) is a striking depiction of a nude female figure. The figure is rendered in bold, simplified forms and saturated colors, characteristic of Mueller's style. Set against a landscape of hills and water, the figure's pose is both powerful and vulnerable, reflecting the artist's exploration of the human condition and the complexities of identity. The painting is a compelling example of Mueller's contribution to the Expressionist movement, known for its emotive and often symbolic approach to representation.
