The other Müller vom Siel

Georg Müller vom Siel (1865–1939) was a popular landscape painter at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Until now, however, the artist’s complete oeuvre has remained largely unknown. The late work, comprising well over a hundred watercolours from his stay at the Wehnen bei Oldenburg sanatorium, was for a long time ignored and a taboo subject. Within the exhibition of the Prinzhorn Collection and the Landesmuseum Oldenburg as well as in the accompanying catalogue, the obsessive and sexualised world edifice of these works is presented for the first time and is discussed within the context of Waslaw Nijinski, Hilma af Klint, Emma Kunz and other exponents of ‘Outsider Art’.
