Copia in condizioni di nuovo; volume raro / Brand new; rare book -- Josef Oskar Müller was a son of prominent Swiss industrialist Josef Adolf Müller (1834-1894). Although trained as an engineer, he devoted his life to art. He was a painter, curator, and collector of modern and non-Western art. He was also an active member of the art community in his native Solothurn, the site of his family's manufacturing firm, Müller and Schweizer, in northwestern Switzerland. He began acquiring art in 1907, also the year of his first visit to Paris, and gradually assembled an extensive collection of work by modern artists with particular strength in Swiss art. Müller's collection included work by the Swiss artists Amiet, Giovanni Giacometti, and Ferdinand Holder, all of whom Müller knew personally, as well as paintings by Georges Braque, Paul Cézanne, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. -- CONTENTS: To Josef MuÌ?ller (Jean Paul Barbier) - Chronology (Jean Paul Barbier, Monique Barbier-Mueller) - Personal recollections (William Rubin, Franz Meyer, Pierre Schneider, John Russell, Jean Tinguely) - My father, Josef MuÌ?ller (Monique Barbier-Mueller) - Miscellaneous (Jean Paul Barbier)
