From 1947 to 1981, Musch was lecturer at the Academy Minerva, succeeding his former teacher De Wit. He was a teacher of amongst others Henk Helmantel, Wim Crouwel and Martin Tissing.[2] Musch married in 1943 painter Johanna (To) Jager, whom he had met at Academy Minerva. Musch was a member of the artists movement "De Jongeren" (1941–1942) and of the "Drentse Schilders" (1947–1953). In 1954 he was co-founder of the "Drents Schilders Genootschap".[3]

Themes and style

Musch made oil paintings and watercolors and his subjects include landscapes and portraits in naturalistic-impressionistic style. He also worked as a lithographer and illustrator of books, including "Kinderen in verstand en boosheid",[5] by the writer Piet Keuning.

gollark: There is a difference between "want" and "need", and making it actually cost something to get something makes that more meaningful.
gollark: Generally, through markets.
gollark: If you could do that, they would not be scarce in the first place.
gollark: If you only have 100 bees and 200 different people/organizations want a bee (or multiple bees!) for something, you can't just say "give them to everyone who needs one".
gollark: Your resource allocation thing, though - you don't seem to actually realize what "scarce" means?
