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.

Ende der 1970er-Jahre löste sich Dieter Krieg von den bis dahin strengen und reduzierten Formen seiner Malerei und überführte diese in eine malerische Wort- und Gegenstandswelt, mit der er neue Grenzen auslotete: Bekannte und alltägliche Objekte transformierte er ins Befremdliche und Unbehagliche. Dabei spielte die Auflösung des Motivs eine tragende Rolle. Die Gegenstände wurden ins Monumentale getrieben und in einen Bildraum gestellt. Krieg schaffte ein Bildvokabular – Kerzen, Thermometer, Salatköpfe und, wie auf dem vorliegenden Gemälde, Fleischstücke etc. –, das von ihm über Jahrzehnte beibehalten, erweitert und immer wieder neu bearbeitet wurde.
