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.

Igor Mitoraj draws on the artistic tradition of the classical beauty of antiquity and builds a bridge to the present in his sculptural work. Mitoraj's gods, heroes and figures from ancient mythology are always fragmentary. The torsos and head fragments are often injured, damaged, sometimes even bandaged. They retain the lost splendour of past times and yet they appear sublime and timeless. In their wounded beauty they remind us of the transience and fragility of man.

Igor Mitoraj schöpft aus der künstlerischen Tradition der klassischen Schönheit der Antike und schlägt in seinem bildhauerischen Werk eine Brücke zur Gegenwart. Mitorajs Götter, Helden und Figuren der antiken Mythologie zeigen sich stets fragmentarisch. Die Torsi und Kopffragmente sind oft verletzt, beschädigt, teils sogar bandagiert. Es haftet ihnen der verlorene Glanz vergangener Zeiten an und dennoch wirken sie erhaben und zeitlos. In ihrer verletzten Schönheit mahnen sie die Vergänglichkeit und Zerbrechlichkeit des Menschen an.
