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.

«Rocks».
In 2011, Gallery Neugerriemschneider in Berlin presented for the very first time the «Rocks» together with the «Trees», two monumental bare and barkless tree sculptures from dead, reassembled wood. The artist had the porcelain stones of the installation being produced in the Chinese town of Jingdezhen, where porcelain pottery has been made for more than 1700 years. Due to their form, the white glazed sculptures, painted with blue bands of clouds at their surface, are appearing like Taihu-stones, traditional Chinese garden rocks, which are decorating the landscape either individually or arranged in groups. In addition to these formal-aesthetical aspects and characteristics of Ai Weiwei's works, there are also conceptual and philosophical references to the Chinese history and present intended and visible.

«Rocks».
H. 11
Die «Rocks» wurden erstmals 2011 gemeinsam mit den «Trees», zwei monumentalen kahlen und rindenlosen Baumskulpturen aus totem, neu zusammengefügten Holz, in der Galerie Neugerriemschneider in Berlin präsentiert. Die Porzellansteine der Installation ließ der Künstler in der chinesischen Stadt Jingdezhen produzieren, die auf eine mehr als 1700-jährige Tradition in der Porzellanmanufaktur zurückblickt. Die weiß glasierten, auf ihrer Oberfläche mit blauen Wolkenbändern verzierten Plastiken erinnern in ihrer Form an Taihu-Steine, traditionelle chinesische Gartenfelsen, die einzeln stehend oder in Gruppen arrangiert die Landschaft mitgestalten. Neben diesen formalästhetischen Aspekten sind - charakteristisch für die Werke Ai Weiweis - auch konzeptionell-philosophische Bezüge zur chinesischen Geschichte und Gegenwart intendiert und erkennbar.
