About the Item

Alphons (Alfons) Müller (Swiss, * 24.8.1898 Mitlödi, † 8.6.1955 Biel) ' Im Häfeli ' The small harbor at the Lake of Biel / Bienne in Switzerland • Oil on artist board, ca. 47 x 38 cm • Frame, ca. 54 x 45 cm • Signed bottom right Worldwide shipping for this object is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery. Alphons Müller lived and worked in the watch industries in Biel/Bienne in Switzerland up to about 1933. He then decided to become a full-time artist and painted landscapes, still lifes, portraits/nudes in various styles up to his early death in 1955. Alphons Müller was the proverbial hardworking bohemian artist. He lived in a small cold room above a pup and often struggled to make ends meet. On one hand he would paint commercial views of local beauty spots - often of the Lake of Bienne. These paintings were generally executed using very thin paint layers (to make the expensive material last longer ...) in a very bright impressionist style. On the other hand, he would create intelligent, generous and deep reaching images - especially during the war. In the late thirties he meets his two loyal patrons, the baker Werner Gass and the pharmacist Christian Kipfer who both pre-financed and collected Müller's work. From that point in time on Müller's output increased considerably. Müller was able to travel abroad and his work matured stylistically with thick layered expressive images. After a period during which Müller's paintings were virtually unsaleable, interest inhis work is now steadily increasing and at auction good paintings by Müller have fetched well in to four digits. The man could paint and I believe his prices have yet a way to go. I am offering here a bright and colorful expressive depiction of the small harbor for rowing boats at the Lake of Bienne in Switzerland. It has never been on the market and came out of Christian Kipfers 's collection. I am Adrian Stuart Grond trading as ASGrond - Art & Antiques. Passionate collector, purveyor and artist.
