183. Scene from Alger [1911]

An important chapter in Mützner's work was his journey to the Arab East, to Algiers, where he arrived in 1910. Here he joined the "Academie Nouvelle de Peinture" and, in his spare time, he studied the surroundings. One of the characteristic attributes of this period was the picturesque element. He evinced a keen observational curiosity in the study of human typologies, as well as the locals’ attitudes and customs. Captured with vivacity and sincerity, the motifs reveal a high level of attention paid to the visual construction, as well as to the architecture of the plans, which tend towards monumentality. In his wanderings, he mainly focused on the cityscape, revealing the pictoriality of the atmosphere through transparent shadows, unusual tones, and unusual details of shapes. Within the elaborate compositional ensembles, the characters were captured in harmonious movements, illustrating a monumentality specific to the spirituality of the place. (G.M.)
