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.

With his shrill, erotic nudes, Tom Wesselmann was among the provocateurs of the American art scene in the 1960s. In typical Pop Art manner, he reduced his motifs to their essential features in a two-dimensional eye-catching way, thus underlining the status of nudity and not the individuality of the face. Wesselmann combines the classic, sensual nude type of the siren-like odalisque with the replaceability of the modern advertising industry and the bourgeois cosiness of the average American household.

Werk aus einer Auflage von 50 signierten und nummerierten Exemplaren. Herausgegeben von International Images, Putney, Vermont. Gedruckt von Mohammad Khalil, MOK Editions, bei Branstead Studio, New York.
Mit seinen schrillen, erotischen Akten zählte Tom Wesselmann in den 1960er Jahren zu den Provokateuren der amerikanischen Kunstszene. In typischer Pop-Art Manier reduziert er seine Motive in flächiger, plakativer Form auf ihre wesentlichen Merkmale und rückt damit den Status der Nacktheit vor die Gesichterindividualität. Wesselmann kombiniert den klassischen, sinnlichen Akttypus der sirenenhaften Odaliske mit der Austauschbarkeit der modernen Werbeindustrie und der spießigen Gemütlichkeit des durchschnittlichen amerikanischen Haushalts.
