Mela (Maria Melania) Muter (Mutermilch) (1876 - 1967) Motherhood/ Maternité, c. 1924 Oil on canvas 130 x 97 cm Private collection Was sold for 1,050,000 PLN on March 2022 The theme of motherhood returned to the painter's work many times. Her career begins with the author's Breton episode and the composition "Sad Country" (1906). More than once, Muter emphasized the miserable expression of their existence in the images of mothers and children. Regardless, she often displayed tenderness between them. More on this painting Mela Muter is the pseudonym used by Maria Melania Mutermilch (April 26, 1876 – May 14, 1967). She lived most of her life in France. Muter's painting career began to flourish after she moved to Paris from Poland in 1901 at the age of twenty-five. Before World War I, Muter's painting practice aligned itself with the Naturalism movement; her signature works containing vivid hues and strong brush strokes. Muter gained swift popularity in Paris and within five years of her residency in the city, had already begun showing her works. Muter received French citizenship in 1927. After the breakout of WWII Muter fled to Avignon for safety during the Nazi occupation. After the war, Muter returned to Paris where she worked and resided until her death in 1967. In the early ages of Muter's work, she could be classified with the post-impressionists due to the pattern and application of her paint. In style and application of paint, Vincent Van Gogh can be seen as a clear influence on Muter's earlier work. By her early thirties, Muter's painting style was distinguished with heavy brushstrokes that layered paint around the faces and hands of the people she painted to signify areas of importance. In her full adulthood, Muter's work had ties with the expressionist movement, marked by a brighter color palette and more pointed compositions, often leaving areas of the canvas bare.

About The Artwork A part of my project Eve's Glory. A hundred years after the First World War, modern women demonstrate military prestige by donning vintage uniforms historically exclusive to men. Highlighting uniforms from the Second Industrial Revolution until the end of the Weimar Republic, Eve’s Glory compares the ceremonial attitudes historically associated with the military to the proud independence of modern women. Military uniforms are symbols of heroic and elite social status. The authentic uniforms belong to officers from several countries, symbolizing the strict value system of the period from 1868 to the 1930s. If women had been granted the same status as men, how would they have been perceived? Would society focus on delicate femininity or strength? Melting away the barriers by integrating women into this masculine world, this project questions the gender divide. Showing the contrast between two different worlds—the masculine and the feminine— Eve’s Glory deals with unique characters regardless of age, health, and origin to show women who fought their way through life and the young women who strive for their own path.

Alice von Hildebrand: If you don’t have children, for goodness sake don’t believe that you have to give up motherhood. Motherhood is not only biological maternity. It is spiritual maternity.
Artists and art workers reflect on the maternal figures in their lives, on being mothers, and on the many layers of a universally beloved and misunderstood figure.
