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 late work of Picasso is characterised by works varying the ageless issue ‹painter and model›, being of lively eroticism. Particularly interesting is the dual presentation of the woman as a stylised flower on the left and next to it as a veristic figure in inviting pose. Picasso is painter and yet a voyeur.» from: Roland Doschka, Picasso - Arbeiten auf Papier, Hommage zum 125. Geburtstag
We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Roland Doschka, Reutlingen, for the scientific consultation.
Provenance: collection Adolphe Louis Gaussen; private collection Prof. Dr. Roland Doschka, Reutlingen; transferred by sale to private collection Kaiserstuhl, in 2007.
The French painter Adolphe Louis Gaussen (1871 - 1954) maintained an art collection besides to his own artistic work, being pursued after his death. It can be presumed that the drawing has been created explicitly for his collection, for the name Gaussen is legible in a prominent position.
