Johann Georg Müller was a German painter and graphic artist. He was studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
Müller's work was heavily influenced by the Expressionist and Surrealist movements, and his paintings and graphic works often featured bold colors and abstract, dreamlike imagery. He was known for his use of symbolic motifs and his interest in mythological and religious themes.
During World War II, Müller was drafted into the German army and served on the Eastern Front. After the war, he returned to Munich and resumed his artistic career. He became a member of the German Expressionist group "Die Neue Gruppe" and participated in several exhibitions throughout Europe.
His work continues to be exhibited and studied around the world, and his legacy has had a significant impact on the development of modern and contemporary art in Germany and beyond.

Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen was a German modernist painter. She was a co-founder of the Hamburg Secession. Since 1919 she based her major expressionist works on the work of the dissolved Brücke (group of artists), early cubism and African sculpture.
Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen has developed an individual mode of expression in Expressionism. Although her works feature the typical angular contours, two-dimensional concept of space and dynamic oblique compositions, unlike her peers, the artist refrained from any form of aggressiveness in her compositions. In her still life and figurative paintings, a contemplative mood resonates, contrary to the dynamic composition of the painting.
In 1937, Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen's works were confiscated from the Kunsthalle Hamburg as part of the Nazi action "Degenerate Art" and then destroyed.
