In 1902, he went on a journey that took him to Ulm for a year and to Paris for two years. Later, he stayed in Leipzig, Munich and Dresden. In Belgium, where he stayed in Brussels, Antwerp, Mechelen and Gent, Müller created the first etchings and graphics that made him a valued artist. Later, he lived in Paris for another three years.
