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.

«Temptation-25 - Afterlight». Lambda print. Signed lower right, dated 2008, numbered 3/12 and inscribed in Chinese.
H 110, W 175,5 cm (sheet).
Chens photographs, radiating a monumental beauty solely due to their large formats, often reflect the extreme contrasts of booming Chinese cities and the rather stagnant rural regions. With his series «Temptation», the artist would like to encourage a reconsideration of the term «Romance», particularly in the context of the changes for Chinese women and their role models in the People's Republic.

Chens Photographien, die allein schon durch ihre großen Formate eine monumentale Schönheit ausstrahlen, reflektieren oftmals die krassen Gegensätze der boomenden chinesischen Großstädte und der eher stagnierenden ländlichen Regionen. Mit seiner Serie «Temptation» möchte der Künstler zur Neubetrachtung des Begriffs «Romantik» anregen, besonders im Kontext der Veränderungen für die chinesischen Frauen und deren Rollenbilder in der Volksrepublik.
