About Claudia 19 - The cruel world

The mixture of "regal" grace and purely human, female passion is an interesting feature of
Mueller's art. That is why it does not contain any semi-tones and shades in the usual sense of
the word. The combination of these two elements, their intertwining, produces unexpected
effects and striking insights - a remarkable Carmen with her nobility of "regal" intonations and
an Odette who amazes one by her lyricism. The whole richness of Mueller's work is created
by endless variations on thesextwo elements.
In the expressiveness of her heroines one can trace their destiny. In Mueller's art today this
destiny emerges with a fatal inevitability. Carmen perishes, Anna perishes, and the Rose
perishes. For their existence, their very presence even, is a challenge. The fullness of their
being, their obedience to their own inner laws, their uncompromising division of things into
good and evil, determine the emergence of the tragic conflict with a world based on falsehood,
deceit and violence.
The cruel world cannot quell or subject them - only kill them. They perish not as weak-willed
victims. Their very existence demonstrates the inhumanity of this world.
In spite of the defeat of Mueller's heroines we do not regard them as victims. They never could
be victims. Their death does not introduce notes of pessimism and despair into Mueller's art.
Today this art is revealing with particular force its protest and humanism. Its inspiration lies in
affirming the beauty of free man. The ballerina's art is imbued with the heroism of the refusal to
submit to evil, with fidelity to love and beauty, a call to struggle, a curse upon the cruel world,
and faith in Man's ultimate victory.
