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».

During his creative period in Gutach, Curt Liebich succeeded in sensing and capturing the unique triad of nature, man and culture in his works. Depictions of traditional life in the Black Forest and its overwhelming nature became widespread and paint a romantic picture that has contributed significantly to the myth surrounding the Black Forest.
«Numerous paintings by Liebich are known from the period around 1920. Many of these motifs combine genre painting and landscape painting. The colours used [...] fit in with this phase of the artist's work. In order not to distract the viewer unnecessarily, the polished rendering of details is deliberately avoided thought the partly pastose application of paint (this also applies, for example, to the faces, which Liebich did not paint in detail in such sceneries).» from: Jean-Philippe Naudet,
