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 fantastic, often erotic to grotesque image worlds of Friedrich Schröder-Sonnenstern are considered as examples of outsider art. Sonnenstern, who had a veritable psychiatric career in his earlier years, did not begin to draw until he was over 50. This is where he was able to express his visions. The motif of the goddess of haste, or Mondelinchen, which he created here in 1949 in an early drawing, appears several more times in his later work.
Schröder-Sonnenstern did not always have a good reputation in the art world. Through his enormous productivity - also by means of helpers - he also contributed to this himself. «At the same time, casually said the artist, who was increasingly addicted to alcohol, there was one infallible mark of authenticity: the splashes of chewing tobacco on the paper.» from: Dorothée Brill, Mondmoralische Praxis, 07.01.2014, Link.
