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.

«[For Rolf Urban, the linocut technique] combines the precision of drawing with the possibilities of painting and leads to distinctly pictorial results. Contributing to this is also the dimension of the picture format, which approaches that of panel paintings. After a plan sketch, which determines the compositional weights, the realisation of the motif on the plate begins. [...] Only the use of coloured inks in numerous printing processes, which are repeated until the desired tone is achieved, imparts spatial complexity and a differentiated colouristic effect to the subject. Irregular consistency of the paint, slight shifting of the surfaces creates delicate transparency and painterly blurriness. The gradual condensation of the pictorial idea corresponds with the iconographic openness of the formal components of the composition. References to landscape and still life emerge.» from: Vereinigung der Freunde der Kunstakademie Karlsruhe e.V. (Ed.), Rolf Urban, Linolschnitt-Unikate, Karlsruhe 1990, p. 3.
