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.

Für Adolf Luther ist das Licht eine «ungeheuere Realität». Es ist sowohl eine materielle als auch eine transoptische Realität. Die Existenz einer jenseits des Materiellen liegenden Welt ist für ihn zumindest ebenso wahrscheinlich wie alles Diesseitige. Die ideale «materielose Materie», die Luther schließlich zur Umsetzung seiner Ideen einsetzte, war das Glas. Er nannte seine Glasobjekte Lichtschleusen, weil sie das in der Zone des Glases befindliche Licht tatsächlich festhielten und als optische Erscheinung nachwiesen.
