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.

Exuberantly luxuriant, colourful bouquets of flowers, uniting the blossoms of different seasons, juicy flesh of overripe melons and the velvety soft surface of fragrant peaches are united on these impressive Baroque still lifes. From grotesque masks, crystal-clear cool water, the origin of all nature's gifts, gurgles into shell-shaped, overflowing bowls. The grimaces of the fountains are the faces of the silenos and fauns, the lustful, wine-loving inhabitants of the forest, whose animalistic and unbridled activity remains hidden from us here. The Baroque metropolis of Naples, brimming with an exhilarating zest for life and enticing with bacchantic fire, is to be assumed as the place of origin of these sensual and voluptuous compositions.

Tätig in Neapel zwischen 1680 und 1731.
Paar Gegenstücke. Barocke Prunkstillleben mit Maskenbrunnen.

Überbordend üppige, farbenfrohe Blumenbouquets, die Blüten unterschiedlicher Jahreszeiten vereinend, saftiges Fruchtfleisch überreifer Melonen und die samtig weiche Oberfläche duftender Pfirsiche sind auf diesen eindrucksvollen barocken Prunkstillleben vereint. Aus grotesken Masken perlt gurgelnd kristallklares, kühles Nass, der Ursprung aller Gaben der Natur, in muschelförmige, überlaufende Schalen. Die Fratzen der Brunnen sind die Gesichter der Silene und Faune, der lüsternen, weinseligen Bewohner des Waldes, deren animalisches und zügelloses Treiben uns hier verborgen bleibt. Die vor berauschender Lebenslust strotzende und mit bacchantischem Feuer lockende Barockmetropole Neapel ist als Ursprungsort dieser sinnenfrohen und schwelgerischen Kompositionen anzunehmen.
