Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

Published by F. Champenois, Paris. «With the decorative panel set of The Seasons of 1896 a proven success, Champenois had Mucha repeat the idea in a new design in 1897, and the result are four more lovely nymphs in arresting poses. Other than Winter who sits all wrapped up and huddled against the cold, they frolic about in diaphanous clothes, their buoyant hair roaming freely in the best Mucha tradition.[...]» from: Jack Rennert and Alain Weil, Alphonse Mucha, The Complete Posters and Panels, Uppsala 1984, p. 151.
