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.

Feininger, Lyonel
1871 New York - 1956 Berlin.
City view with church. Watercolour and India ink on ribbed (Vergé) paper by Ingres (watermark). Signed lower left and dated 13.VII.(19)55 lower right.
Depictions of churches, villages and city views are belonging to the most famous works by Feininger. Since the 1920s the influence of the Bauhaus-aesthetics dominates increasingly. Very accurate straight lines and clear geometric shapes, exemplary visible in the present work by Feininger, are replacing the more dynamic and agitated compositions from his earlier creative period. Since the 1950s works executed in watercolour are gaining importance within his oeuvre.

1871 New York - 1956 Berlin.
Stadtansicht mit Kirche. Aquarell und Tusche auf geripptem (Vergé) Papier von Ingres (Wasserzeichen). U.l. sign. und u.r. 13.VII.(19)55 dat.
Darstellungen von Kirchen, Dörfern und Stadtansichten zählen zu Feiningers berühmtesten Werken. Ab den 1920er Jahren dominiert zunehmend der Einfluss der Ästhetik des Bauhauses. Exakt ausgeführte Geraden und klare geometrische Formen, beispielhaft in der hier gezeigten Arbeit Feiningers erkennbar, lösen die noch eher dynamischen und unruhigen Kompositionen der früheren Schaffensphasen ab. Ab den 1950er Jahren gewinnen in Aquarell ausgeführte Arbeiten immer mehr Bedeutung in Feiningers Gesamtwerk.
