BORN: 1910

Little is know about Richard Mouw.

A self-taught painter of Midwest Regionalism - the prevailing style in the heart- land before World War II and for some years after.

Mouw was an X-ray technician by trade.

Mouw and his wife settled in Muskego in 1945.

He is remembered as a friendly neighbor, a helpful man who occasionally gave art lessons to Muskego children.

Little if anything is known about the inspiration for his art or his artistic aspirations. 

Mouw was a member of Wisconsin Painters and Sculptors and exhibited in several group shows in Milwaukee and elsewhere over the years. But it was always an enjoyable hobby for him, and he never appears to have pursued painting as a career.
