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».

Nolde, Emil
1867 Nolde - 1956 Seebüll.
Fackellilien. Aquarell/Japanpapier. Vor dem Hintergrund eines leuchtend blauen Meeres drei exotische intensiv rot leuchtende Fackellilien mit grünen Blättern. U.r. sign. Leichte Befestigungsspuren.
Ob exotische Pflanzen aus der Südsee oder heimische Gewächse aus seinem Garten in Utenwarf nahe der Nordsee, Blumen übten auf Nolde eine besondere Faszination aus. So schrieb er in seiner Biografie «Die Farben der Blumen zogen mich unwiderstehlich an» und «ich liebte die Reinheit der Farben». Das vorliegende Blatt ist ein außergewöhnlich schönes Beispiel für die ausdrucksstarke Farbgebung, die Nolde zu einem der bedeutendsten Aquarellisten des 20. Jahrhunderts gemacht hat.
