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.

Morat, Wilhelm
Born 1954 Neustadt/Black Forest, lives and works in Titisee-Neustadt.
Torso.
Handmade flax paper with enclosed copper welding wires. Signed inside the middle und dated 2001.
H 29,
Wilhelm Morat is of the opinion that paper is nothing other than transformed nature. The shape of this work is created by inserting copper welding wires in between the individual layers of the still liquid paper. As the torso dries, water evaporates and the fibres of the paper shrink and harden, pulling the wires with them and letting a copper sketch appear. Through this the wires bend and a two-dimensional surface becomes something of volume, set in motion by airflow and thermal.
