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».

Reinhold Reiling, who had been a professor at the Pforzheim School of Arts and Crafts since 1969, created a unique combination of current trends in the visual arts with jewellery design. While until the end of the 1960s there were links in his work to Tachism and Informel, from the 1970s onwards the designs became increasingly austere and geometric in the design of the surfaces. His works are presented in the Danner Jewellery Collection as a permanent loan to the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.
