Cinque nudi nella foresta
1914
Otto Mueller, a key member of the German Expressionist group Die Brücke, captures a dreamy forest scene with five pale, dark-haired nudes lounging among the trees. Painted in 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I, the piece uses bold black outlines and washes of green and blue to create a sense of primal harmony between humans and nature. Mueller was often nicknamed 'Gypsy Mueller' because of his deep fascination with Romani culture and his love for painting figures in natural, unposed settings, making this a perfect example of his signature style.
