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.

Liu Fei depicts young, bald women in an interplay between conformity and self-presentation, with a broad, excessive grin and radiant faces in expressive, often negatively connoted poses and thus comments critically on the image of the woman in Asiatic region and the constant urge to «keep one's countenance». Painted in an almost photorealistic manner with a flat application of paint - a characteristic of the artist - the painting suggests spontaneity and almost acts like an impulsive snapshot of a young woman staging herself.

«No. 4» (take a photo for me). Öl auf Leinwand. U.l. sign., 2001 dat. und bet.
H. 99,8,
Liu Fei zeigt junge glatzköpfige Frauen im Wechselspiel zwischen Konformität und Selbstdarstellung, mit breitem, überzogenem Grinsen und strahlenden Gesichtern in expressiven, oftmals negativ konnotierten Posen und nimmt damit kritisch Stellung zum Bild der Frau im asiatischen Raum und dem ständigen Drang des «Gesicht Bewahrens». In beinahe photorealistischer Manier gemalt und mit für den Künstler typischem flachem Farbauftrag, suggeriert das Gemälde dem Betrachter Spontanität und wirkt fast wie ein momenthafter Schnappschuss einer sich selbst inszenierenden jungen Frau.
