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».

Sandreuter, Hans
1850 Basel - 1901 Riehen.
Self portrait. Oil on canvas. Monogrammed upper left and dated 1890 upper right. Restored.
Hans Sandreuter, today an unjustly forgotten pupil of Arnold Böcklin, was mainly active as landscape painter even if also depictions with symbolist motifs were enriching his oeuvre. In addition he created designs for furniture, wall panellings, stoves and other interior decor items and was also successful as decorative painter. The influence of Arnold Böcklin is clearly visible in numerous of his works, especially from the earlier creative period of his life. The present self portrait however shows his personal style, emancipated from his master.
Provenance: estate of the artist; private collection Basel.

1850 Basel - 1901 Riehen.
Selbstbildnis. Öl auf Leinwand. O.l. monogr. und o.r. 1890 dat. Altrest.
Hans Sandreuter, ein heute zu Unrecht etwas in Vergessenheit geratener Schüler Arnold Böcklins, war überwiegend als Landschaftsmaler tätig, wobei auch symbolistische Darstellungen sein Werk bereichern. Darüber hinaus schuf er zahlreiche Entwürfe für die Gestaltung von Möbeln, Wandvertäfelungen, Öfen und sonstigen Einrichtungsgegenständen und war auch als Dekorationsmaler erfolgreich. Der Einfluss Böcklins ist in vielen seiner Werke, vor allem der frühen Schaffensphase, deutlich spürbar. Das hier vorgestellte Selbstporträt zeigt bereits seinen eigenen, vom Lehrmeister emanzipierten Stil.
