Professor Hermann Dischler
25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935
Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.
1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Work from an edition of 35 signed and numbered copies. Sheet 2 of 9 serigraphs from the portfolio «Black Dress». Published by Lococo Fine Art Publisher, St. Louis, Missouri. Printed by Brand X Editions, Long Island City.
Since Alex Katz's beginnings, the black dress has been featured in his works. Thematically, this edition takes up one of Katz's most famous early paintings in the Museum Brandhorst, Munich, inventory number UAB 207, which itself also bears the title «The Black Dress». Gracefully reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn in «Breakfast at Tiffany's», the woman depicted wears a black shift dress and is shown from six varying perspectives. Showing nine life-size, hand-pulled silkscreen prints of some of the models Katz has painted over the years, always present in this edition are the yellow background, the leaned-back pose of the models and the wearing of a variation of the «little black dress» with matching black heels. Posing in a relaxed manner, the women look elegant and stylish. As one of Alex Katz's most elaborate edition projects, it contains the central elements of his style: the women, the black dress, the black and yellow colour combination, the seriality and the casualness with which he portrays his models.
