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.

«The realism still strongly emphasized in the animal sculptures is already completely abandoned here. The [...] motifs from the fairytale world force Schliepstein into a new style. [...] [Schliepstein] created a purpose-designed nude, which manifests the tremendous space-creating and space-interpreting ability of the nude figure with the clarity and grip of a classic example. The soft, painterly imprecision, which Schliepstein's pre-war sculptures still adhere to, is here abandoned off in favour of a firm outline and determination of the structure.» from: Müller 1930,

«Der in den Tierplastiken noch stark betonte Realismus ist hier schon gänzlich verlassen. Die [...] Motive[] aus der Märchenwelt erzwingen hier bei Schliepstein eine neue Formensprache. [...] Hier hat die reine plastische Form ihre Funktion im Raum. Hier erklingt der Raum durch die Plastik. [Schliepstein] schuf hier einen zweckbestimmten Akt, der die ungeheure raumschaffende und raumdeutende Fähigkeit des Aktbildes mit der Deutlichkeit und Griffsicherheit eines Schulbeispieles kundtut. Die weiche, malerische Unpräzision, die Schliepsteins Vorkriegsplastiken noch anhaftet [...] ist hier abgestreift zugunsten einer festen Umrissenheit und Bestimmtheit der Struktur.» aus: Müller 1930, S. 37.
