Simplicity

More quotes by Otto Mueller

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

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.

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

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