Müller, Wilhelm
Constructive Exercise. 1965/1985. Mixed media with silverpoint on vellum. Each 21 x 30 cm. In original folder with slipcase. - Some slight surface wear. One sheet shows handling marks on the reverse. Partial, minimal wear to the corners. - Overall, very good condition. Magnificent works executed with great delicacy.
Contains: Sheets 1–23: The individual elements with the interleaves: 4, 19, 20, 21. Sheets 24–30: Compositions featuring elements from the constructive exercise, as well as a final sheet. - Wilhelm Müller was a dentist by profession before turning to painting as a self-taught artist from 1961 onwards. His tuition with Hermann Glöckner proved decisive for his artistic development; it was under Glöckner’s influence that the ‘Constructive Exercises’ were created. In these works, he increasingly explores the geometric division of the picture plane. The compositions begin with a simple central line intersected by a diagonal, and develop into complex structures comprising several lines that divide the sheet in varying proportions.

In these works, he increasingly explores the geometric division of the pictorial surface. The compositions begin with a simple central line intersected by a diagonal and evolve into complex structures of multiple lines that divide the sheet into varying proportions.
