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.

Kurt Peiser, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, was interested in the theories of communism and the living and working conditions of the working class, which is clearly evident in his oeuvre. His view of poverty and misery is unembellished and unsparing, but also shows the little joys in the lives of the socially disadvantaged. For many workers, between the cramped living conditions and the endless, exhausting shifts in the factories, visiting a pub after work was the only place for recreation and social interaction. There they sang, played music and danced, and a freshly tapped beer made many forget their worries for a moment. The so-called «Lundi perdu», literally lost Monday, is a feast traditionally celebrated in Tournai and Antwerp on the Monday after Epiphany.

Der Absolvent der Königlichen Akademie der Schönen Künste zu Antwerpen, Kurt Peiser, interessierte sich für die Theorien des Kommunismus und die Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen der Arbeiterklasse, was sich in seinem Œuvre deutlich abzeichnet. Dabei ist sein Blick auf Armut und Elend ungeschönt und schonungslos, zeigt aber auch die kleinen Freuden im Leben der sozial Benachteiligten. Für viele Arbeiter war zwischen den beengten Wohnverhältnissen und den endlosen, erschöpfenden Schichten in den Fabriken der Besuch einer Kneipe nach Feierabend der einzige Ort der Erholung und der sozialen Interaktion. Dort wurde gesungen, musiziert und getanzt. Ein frisch gezapftes Bier ließ so Manchen seine Sorgen für einen Moment vergessen. Beim sogenannten «Lundi perdu», wörtlich verlorenen Montag, handelt es sich um ein Festessen, das am Montag nach dem Dreikönigstag traditionell in Tournai und in Antwerpen gefeiert wird.
