Roger Mühl (1929-2008)
Roger Mühl's work is all about light. The artist feeds on it and translates it with his colors, both in painting and lithography. With great force, his chromatic harmony and effective simplicity of form render the cool, damp atmosphere of a Breton landscape, as much as the sweltering heat of Provence in midsummer.

Biography of artist Roger Mühl
Roger Mühl was born in Geudertheim, Bas-Rhin, at the end of 1929. He entered the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts in 1939. After the interruption of the war, he resumed his studies in 1945 until 1948.
From then on, he worked as a decorator at the Barabli, a satirical cabaret created in Strasbourg by Germain Muller. He designed murals for schools in the region, notably Ittenheim in 1952, then, at the request of the French Ministry of Education, in other regions of France, in Brittany and Normandy, as well as in Paris (1954-1955). Meanwhile, in 1953, the Maison d'Art alsacienne in Strasbourg offered him his first solo exhibition. The city's Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art acquired two of his works. In 1954 he moves to Montreux-Château in the Territoire de Belfort.
