Roger Mühl (1929 - 2008)

Roger Mühl was born on December 20, 1929 in Strausbourg, France, where he attended the National School of Decorative Arts. He spent most of his life living and working in Provence, while regularly exhibiting in London, Paris, Geneva, Tokyo, and New York.

Mühl is best known for his brightly colored, heavily textured landscape renderings of the south of France. His bucolic paintings often utilize complementary colors and neutral tones, creating both atmosphere and physicality in his subtle compositions.

Mühl enjoyed much acclaim and commercial success during his life. His legacy as a second generation member of the “École de Paris” (School of Paris) has been celebrated and enhanced by the posthumous resonance his oeuvre continues to have with collectors. Examples of Mühl’s work can be found in numerous private and institutional collections worldwide. He has amassed an extensive exhibition history over the past seven decades, particularly in Europe. In the United States, solo and group exhibitions of his work have been held by David Findlay Galleries (New York), Morgan Knott Gallery (Dallas), and Dubins Gallery (Los Angeles).

Mühl died on April 4, 2008 in Mougins, France.
