Ostdeutsche Kunst – Enthält: Blatt 1-23 Die einzelnen Elemente mit den Zwischenblättern: 4,19,20,21. Blatt 24-30 Kompositionen mit Elementen der konstruktiven Übung sowie ein Schlussblatt. - Wilhelm Müller war von Beruf Zahnarzt, bevor er sich ab 1961 autodidaktisch der Malerei zuwandte. Entscheidend für seine künstlerische Entwicklung wurde der Unterricht bei Hermann Glöckner, unter dessen Einfluss die "Konstruktiven Übungen" entstanden. In diesen Arbeiten setzt er sich vermehrt mit der geometrischen Aufteilung der Bildfläche auseinander. Die Kompositionen beginnen mit einer einfachen Mittellinie, die von einer Diagonalen geschnitten wird, und steigern sich zu komplexen Gefügen aus mehreren Linien, die das Blatt in variierenden Proportionen gliedern.
East German Art – Mixed media with silverpoint on woven paper. In original folder with sleeve. - Some slight surface abrasion. One sheet shows verso sime handling marks. Partial, minimal bumping of the corners. - Overall, very good condition. Splendid works executed with great delicacy. - Wilhelm Müller worked as a dentist before turning to painting as a self-taught artist in 1961. His artistic development was decisively shaped by his studies with Hermann Glöckner, under whose influence the "Constructive Exercises" were created. 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.
