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.

«These pictures bear the simple title ‹House› because I feel the human body as a dwelling, as a shelter, as a ‹house› for the soul and the spirit. They are so-called realisations in colour + form. The body, the house in which the soul and the spirit dwell. [...] As is well known, there is a lot of bipolarity in every person. Therefore, when painting a ‹house›, I have to strive to make these opposites visible. [...] The human being is at the centre of my interest. I am not only moved by their outer appearance; I also want to experience their inner life. My task is to make the trinity, body - soul - spirit, visible. [...] Becoming - being - passing away.» René Acht in: Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen, Kunstmuseum Singen, Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau (Ed.), René Acht, Lyrisch-Konkret, Cologne 2021, p. 110.
