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.

Initially, Lothar Malskat gained fame as an art forger: in the Schleswig Cathedral and the St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, he created large picture cycles in the early Gothic style, that were celebrated as successful restorations of historical paintings. His forgeries only came to light in 1952 when the artist confessed to forgery. In the process, he also admitted to forging works by renowned artists such as Rembrandt, Picasso and Chagall, thus setting in motion what was then the largest art forgery scandal in the Federal Republic of Germany. As expected, the original and thus also signed or monogrammed works by Malskat stand out for their wide stylistic range.
Provenance: private collection Hamburg and Markgräflerland.
