Wout Muller is one of the leading Dutch post-war realists. Eroticism is central to his work. From about 1973, sparsely dressed women predominate and he combines these with fantastic landscapes in which breasts and buttocks with elements such as snails, turtles, apples and phallic symbols can be seen. His traditional approach to painting earned him a teaching position at the Minerva Academy in Groningen between 1971 and 1991. In that period he acquired an important place among the Groningen figurative artists and eventually within Northern Realism. Together with Matthijs Röling he executed large wall paintings in the auditorium of the Academy Building of the University of Groningen and in the cultural center De Oosterpoort (Groningen). Muller has exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, England, the United States and Ireland. His work is in many museum collections Meer over deze brontekstBrontekst vereist voor aanvullende vertaalinformatie Feedback sturen Zijvensters
