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.

Untitled. 1989. Assemblage of iron, lead and jute. Unsigned.
In his works the Italian based Greek artist represents the relationship between nature and culture, using so-called «poor materials». For this purpose he classifies them into groups of organic, inorganic and prefabricated materials and ennobles them up to symbols and icons for evolution, energy and transparency. Central motifs of his works, created from seemingly at random found objects, are «bottles, numbers and letters» and, like in the present work, «bodies on metal».

Geb. 1936 Piräus, lebt und arbeitet in Rom.
Ohne Titel. 1989. Assemblage aus Eisen, Blei und Jute. Unsign.
Der in Italien lebende griechische Künstler stellt in seinen Werken mithilfe der von ihm als «arme Materialien» bezeichneten Werkstoffe das Verhältnis der Natur zur Kultur dar. Die verwendeten Utensilien werden dazu in organische, anorganische und vorgefertigte Materialien aufgeteilt und zu Sinnbildern für Evolution, Energie und Transparenz veredelt. Zentrale Themen seiner Werke, die er aus scheinbar zufällig gefundenen Gegenständen entstehen lässt, sind unter anderem «Flaschen, Zahlen und Buchstaben» und, wie bei der hier vorgestellten Arbeit, «Körper auf Metall».
