Albert Müller

Albert Müller (29 November 1897 – 14 December 1926) was a distinguished Swiss Expressionist renowned for his wide-ranging abilities as a painter, glass artist, draftsman, graphic artist, and sculptor. Born in Basel, Switzerland, he maintained a strong connection to the Swiss Expressionist movement in the early 20th century through his artistic endeavors.

Expressionism’s vivid and emotional essence resonated in Müller’s work, where he often employed vibrant colors and striking forms. His artistry was not limited to painting; he also produced stained glass windows and graphic art, demonstrating his adaptability with various artistic techniques.

During his short yet prolific career, Albert Müller joined forces with other prominent artists of his time, especially those linked to the "Rot-Blau" group. This collective made a notable contribution to the progress and acknowledgment of Swiss modern art.

Though Müller passed away at just 29, his contributions to art continue to shape Swiss artistic culture. His works are displayed in museums and galleries both within Switzerland and internationally, emphasizing the enduring significance of his role in Expressionism and the broader history of Swiss art.
