Karl Hauptmann

«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947

Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.

In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.

In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.

Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.

On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

«Annie Hystak's art is inspired by so much emotion, by so much joy in creating and giving these delicacies, that it becomes an experience for the viewer as well.» This is how Máximo Asenjo describes the exceptional jewellery of a unique jewellery designer in his 1921 article in «Dekorative Kunst»: Annie Hystak. Born in 1876 in Brno, Czech Republic, the goldsmith died in Freiburg i.Br. after residencies in Berlin, Munich and Paris in 1921. Her jewellery, which can be attributed neither to Historism nor Art Nouveau nor the emerging Art Deco, captivates with its own language of form and colour and is simply Annie Hystak. In their issue from 30 June 1924, the Time Magazine describes her as a jewellery artist who makes her pieces exclusively for her clients, first studying their hand and personality for a ring creation. Then translating this knowledge with precious stones, she brings them to optimal expression in disciplined floral settings. She loves playing with material surfaces and the use of coloured stones. As she always speaks her own language, her creations are truly timeless.
Provenance: Estate of the artist to a long-time confidante; by succession transferred to private collection Freiburg i.Br.
