(Klagenfurt 1891–1949 Garmisch)
Homestead in the mountains, c. 1930, signed Mulley, oil on canvas, 75 x 100 cm, framed, (K)
Provenance:
Private Collection, Germany
In 1929 Mulley participated in the 50th annual exhibition in the Künstlerhaus in Vienna. There, the Viennese public chose him with his oil painting ‘An der Dorfkirche’ as the winner of the ‘Wiener Volkspreis 1929’ founded by the Viennese Association of Visual Artists. During participation in a further exhibition in the Styrian Art Club in Graz, Mulley was awarded the silver medal of the city of Graz. Oskar Mulley’s pastose mountain paintings, executed in earthy colouring, show him to be an analysing observer of his living space. In contrasting the landscape of the Kaiser Mountains and the living conditions of mountain farmers, he condenses the subjective experience of landscape and architecture in a symbolic image statement. Nature is landscape, culture is architecture, always in the totality of the details. Consequently, Mulley represents the architecture of homesteads and villages in the mountains in the way nature would build them, if it could build, namely with protrusions and crevices. Here, man and nature coexist in harmony.
