More about this artwork
Albert Müller’s striking 1925 painting "Ursulina II" captivates with its raw energy and emotional depth. This expressionist work features the visage of a woman, her face rendered in bold, chaotic lines that suggest a turmoil beneath her outward appearance. Muller's use of etching enhances the dramatic effect, with stark contrasts and a somewhat abstracted form that pushes the boundaries of figurative representation.The woman's gaze is particularly compelling, directed slightly to the side as if lost in thought or disquiet. Her large, poignant eyes coupled with the distorted features convey a complexity of emotions, perhaps indicative of the personal or societal challenges of her time. Müller’s style is evident in the fluidity of the strokes and the almost frenetic energy that seems to pulse through the composition.Background elements appear to merge seamlessly with the central figure, suggesting a blurring between the individual and her surroundings, possibly reflecting the artist's exploration of identity and the human condition.
