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.

In digital times, the pinhole camera seems almost like an archaic rarity. Petra Böttcher's pinhole photographs take the viewer back to the beginnings of the photographic technique. But what at first appears to be a restriction to minimal design possibilities is precisely the attraction for the artist based in Efringen-Kirchen. «Her pictures are often composed of several exposures that are pushed horizontally into one after the other. The picture parts merge - without a visible beginning or recognisable end.» from: Peter Olpe, Out of Focus, Lochkamerafotografie und Lochkameras, Salenstein 2012, p. 112.
The bulb exposures «Zielstrebig I and II» were taken during a night drive from Singen to Lörrach in summer 1998. The line patterns are based on the light traces of the motor traffic.
