Rudolf Möller, born on February 12, 1881 in Thuringia, was a major German painter of the early 20th century. He studied at the Royal School of Art in Berlin from 1905 to 1907 under Lovis Corinth, which had a lasting impact on his artistic training. In 1916, he began a career as an art teacher in Berlin and later became a senior professor of painting and art literature. Möller was an active member of the avant-garde November group from 1919 to 1931, participating in numerous groundbreaking exhibitions and contributing to the development of modern art in Germany.
Under the Nazi regime, his art was classified as “degenerate” (entartete Kunst), leading to his dismissal from all official positions in 1943. After the Second World War, he settled in Lörrach, where he continued his pictorial research and artistic work until his death in 1967. His works, which reflect both his avant-garde commitment and his technical mastery, are now included in prestigious collections, including the Kunsthalle Würth in Schwäbisch Hall.
