"German Expressionism / Year 1930 / Rudolf Moller (1881-1967) / Expressionismus / Landscape"
Work of the German expressionist artist RUDOLF MOLLER, member of the NOVEMBER GROUP (NOVEMBER GRUPPE) made with gouache watercolor and pastel, depicts a rural landscape in bright and contrasting hues. The green hills, dotted with houses and cultivated fields, create a harmonious and soothing composition. Touches of yellow and green accentuate the brightness and fertility of the agricultural land. The gentle curves of the hills and the small scattered villages evoke an idyllic rural setting.30 x 41 at sight

Rudolf Möller (1881-1967) was an influential German painter of his time. Born on February 12, 1881 in Thuringia, he studied at the Royal School of Art in Berlin under the tutelage of Lovis Corinth from 1905 to 1907. He began his career as an art teacher at a high school in Berlin in 1916 and later became a leading teacher of painting and artistic literature. An active member of the Novembre group, a collective of avant-garde artists, from 1919 to 1931, Möller participated in numerous exhibitions that highlighted innovative and often controversial works. During the Nazi regime, his art was classified as "degenerate" (entartete Kunst), a label given to works and artists who did not fit Nazi aesthetic and ideological standards. As a result, Möller was dismissed from his teaching position in 1943. After World War II, in 1945 he moved to Lörrach, where he continued to live and work until his death in 1967. His works can today be seen in collections such as that of the Kunsthalle Würth in Schwäbisch Hall.
