Jan Müller (artist)

Jan Müller (December 27, 1922 – January 29, 1958) was a New York-based figurative expressionist player of the 1950s. According to art critic Carter Ratcliff, "His paintings usually erect a visual architecture sturdy ample to maintain an array of standing, riding, levitating figures. Gravity is absent, banished by an indifference to ordinary experience." According to the poet John Ashbery, Müller "brings a medieval sensibility to neo-Expressionist paintings."
