Born in 1876, Warsaw, died in 1967, Paris.   Muter came from an affluent Jewish family assimilated in Poland. Throughout its history the family had remained loyal to the Polish independence tradition, however, Muter she spent most of her life abroad, primarily in France. She maintained loose contacts with Polish artists in Paris, who were a part of the international École de Paris circle, though she did exhibit with them.   She attended a yearlong course at Milosz Kotarbinski's Drawing and Painting School for Women in Warsaw. In 1901 she departed for Paris. Years later this would turn out to be a permanent resettlement, and Muter accepted French citizenship in 1927. Once there she attended classes at the Académie Colarossi and the Académie de la Grande Chaumiére, though she did neither regularly as she was a young mother at the time. Generally, in an academic sense, she was self-taught. In 1902 she began to present her works at the annual Parisian Salons; she also sent works to be exhibited at a number of domestic group exhibitions (held in Krakow, Lviv, and Warsaw). A series of solo exhibitions began with a presentation at Barcelona's Galeria José Dalmau in 1912, and she became a member of the Parisian Societé Nationale des Beaux-Arts the same year. She painted a great deal and presented her work often in Paris, less regularly in Munich and Pittsburgh. She had important solo exhibitions at the Chéron Gallery (1918) and Druet Gallery (1926 and 1928) in Paris, and in Poland at the Towarzystwo Zachety Sztuk Pieknych / Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts (1923).   Muter was influenced most strongly as an artist by her numerous travels, particularly her many plein-airs in Brittany and Spain. Affected by the experiences she gathered in this way, she quickly abandoned the luminous, symbolist aesthetic evident in her Works.     Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information Tel 972-3-5244110 urban972@gmail.com Worldwide Shipping Standard Delivery - EMS International (Between 3 and 7 days) Local ShipmentItems can be shipped for NIS 88.00 (up to 20kg per item) Local PickupGeneral items can be picked-up from our Tel-Aviv offices on 72 Ben Ehuda St., Tel Aviv 63433, Israel, for a handling fee of NIS 40.00.Combined Shipping DiscountsEach item in a combined sipping can be shipped for 50% of the stated shipping price PLEASE NOTE: Insurance is optional.
