Within a few short years, the Basel painter, draftsman, printmaker and sculptor Albert Muller (1897-1926) became one of the main exponents of Expressionism in Switzerland. His extensive oeuvre, devoted primarily to landscapes and the human figure, emerged within the context of the contemporary avant-garde, his friendship with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner playing a decisive role in this regard. As cofounder of the artists' association "Rot-Blau" (red-blue), Muller contributed substantially to the acceptance of modernism in his native city. Three years after his premature death in 1926, the Kupferstichkabinett acquired a large number of prints and drawings, holdings that have since grown considerably through further acquisitions and donations. Complemented with paintings and sculptures belonging to the Kunstmuseum, the exhibition presents a representative overview of Muller's work.
