Biography

Rudolf Möller (12 February 1881 – 1967) was an influential German painter of the early 20th century. He studied at the Royal School of Art in Berlin under Lovis Corinth from 1905 to 1907. 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 also an active member of the avant-garde November group from 1919 to 1931, participating in many groundbreaking exhibitions.
Under the Nazi regime, his art was classified as "degenerate" (entartete Kunst), which led to his dismissal from his post in 1943. After the Second World War, Möller settled in Lörrach, where he continued his artistic work until his death in 1967. His works are now exhibited in prestigious collections, including the Kunsthalle Würth in Schwäbisch Hall.
