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.

«Labyrinth-Findlinge (labyrinth-boulders)».
Ensemble of four natural stones with drilled labyrinth drawing, two specimens of red sandstone, one each of grey and white granite. Verso respectively laterally monogrammed each.
H 10,5
No less than four labyrinth boulders invite the viewer to identify the main paths with sharpened senses as well as powers of observation and not to be led astray. The labyrinths are filigree engraved in erratic boulders from the Murg Valley and thus create a connection between nature as the creator of the pebbles, which have been rounded by water and friction over endless times, and the artist, who inscribes a meandering search game on them with precise mathematical calculation. Since 2006, Wagner has devoted himself to the thematic complex of labyrinths, which he approaches in different ways. The boulders, offered here as an ensemble, are each unique, intended for wall mounting and can also stand on their own.
