Karl Hauptmann
«The Feldberg Painter»
24th April 1880 – 7th April 1947
Karl Hauptmann was born on 25th of April in 1880 in Freiburg i.Br., Germany. He received his artistic training in Nürnberg and Munich and was thereafter engaged as a decorative painter.
In 1908 he produced the first of what were to be his typical Black Forest paintings. In the years between 1915 and 1919, he produced numerous images of the Alpine region he had visited during his deployment with the mountain infantry in the First World War.
In 1918 Karl Hauptmann purchased «Molerhüsli», which for him encompassed his dwelling, atelier, and exhibition space. It soon became a favourite meeting place for skiers, hikers, students, and visitors to Feldberg.
Due to Hauptmann’s ever-present health problems, his doctor prescribed a trip to Italy in 1940, to which he again travelled the following year.
On 7th of April in 1947, Karl Hauptmann died at the age of 67 at his «Molerhüsli».

The Oeuvre of the Prussian painter ranges ambivalently between Impressionism and Expressionism, making use of an intense colour which condenses especially in his landscape views.

«Brockhusen had won the Villa Romana Prize in 1913 and passed six months in Florence with his wife. On their way, they stopped in Gardone at Lake Garda. The view seems to be the view from his hotel room. [...] The Gallery Möller represented the work of Brockhusen». (Claudia Böckel, Regensburg, 03.08.2018).

Das Œuvre des preußischen Malers bewegt sich ambivalent zwischen Impressionismus und Expressionismus; seine intensive Farbigkeit schlägt sich vor allem in den Landschaftsausblicken nieder.

«Brockhusen war 1913 Preisträger des Villa Romana Preises und verbrachte ein halbes Jahr mit seiner Frau zusammen in Florenz. Auf dem Weg dahin machten sie in Gardone am Gardasee Station.
