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 exhibition "Convergence" took place from 27.09.2001 to 10.10.2001 in the small banqueting hall of the Hackesche Höfe in Berlin. Prior to this, the participating artists had each met a seriously ill person in order to dive into the precarious field of tension between body and soul in a sensitive way through personal conversations. The resulting artworks created under the impression of these encounters reflect the intense, multifaceted worlds of experience between pain and relief as well as fear and hope.

Die Ausstellung «Convergence» fand vom 27.09.2001 bis zum 10.10.2001 im Kleinen Festsaal der Hackeschen Höfe in Berlin statt. Zuvor hatten die beteiligten Künstlerinnen und Künstler je einen schwerkranken Menschen getroffen, um durch persönliche Gespräche in das prekäre Spannungsfeld von Körper und Seele auf einfühlsame Weise einzutauchen. Die unter dem Eindruck dieser Begegnungen entstandenen Kunstwerke empfinden die intensiven, facettenreichen Erfahrungswelten zwischen Schmerz und Linderung sowie Angst und Hoffnung nach.
