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».

Shusaku Arakawa studied medicine and mathematics in Tokyo before moving to New York in 1961. First exhibited in the 1960s, his series of «Diagram Paintings» became representative of his conceptual paintings and can be interpreted as phase shift from three-dimensional shape to two-dimensional surface. Despite their analytical scheme, Arakawa's works of art are rather fragile, turning «pseudo-technical» drawings (diagrams) into poetic structures.

Shusaku Arakawa studierte Medizin und Mathematik in Tokio bevor er 1961 nach New York übersiedelte. In den 1960er Jahren stellte er erstmals seine Serie der «Diagram Paintings» aus, die repräsentativ für seinen konzeptionellen Stil stehen und in seinem Œuvre den Wechsel von der Dreidimensionalität hin zum Zweidimensionalen markieren. Seine Arbeiten sind trotz ihres vordergründig analytischen Schemas zart und zerbrechlich - aus pseudo-technischen Zeichnungen (Diagrammen) werden poetische Gebilde.
