Johanna von der Mühll-von Tuhr, born von Tuhr, was born in Basel in 1894 and grew up in Strasbourg until 1914. From 1919, she attended the schools of applied arts in Halle and Cologne, where she studied with the painter Otto Fischer; after returning to Basel in 1920, she took nude drawing classes at the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule and the Lyceumclub. Between 1910 and 1974, she created around 32 paintings and an extensive collection of drawings, book illustrations, and sketchbooks, which has been cataloged by the University Library Basel since 2020. She was also a doctor of art history and a writer, vice president of the Swiss Writers' Association, and chairwoman of the Basel section of the PEN Club.
