Since I am not well and have difficulty walking.. .More than anything else, I need lots of rest; even letter-writing is a strain.

More quotes by Otto Mueller

I have always taken the art of the ancient Egyptians as my model, even in purely technical matters.

My principle aim is to express my experience of landscape and human beings with the greatest possible simplicity.

I depict my life and experiences in my works of art.

By new style I meant mainly technical aspects. It is impossible to experience things from an entirely new angle through will-power; it has to mature in solitude.

I will try to develop an entirely new style and I am sure I will succeed.
