More about this artwork
In the striking composition presented in "Sertigtal" (1925), a work by Albert Müller, we are led into a dynamic depiction of a mountainous landscape. This compelling painting pulses with intense colors of blue, red, and black, arranged in sharp, angular forms that evoke the ruggedness and raw beauty of the alpine scenery.Müller's use of color and form infuses the depicted landscape with an energetic and almost tumultuous feel, reflecting perhaps the elemental forces at work in such high-altitude environments. The bold, graphic quality of the work, achieved through what appears to be a woodcut technique, enhances the dramatic and somewhat abstract portrayal of the natural scene. This method allows Müller to accentuate aspects of the landscape that resonate with dynamism and vitality, possibly a reflection of his own emotional response to the beauty of the Sertigtal—a valley in the Swiss Alps known for its picturesque vistas."Sertigtal" evokes a sense not just of physical place but also of the profound impact that nature has on the human spirit, capturing a moment of both awe and introspection in the face of the sublime.
