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 artist, born 1946 as Alberto Porta, adopted the name Zush in 1968, when he decided to create a parallel world called Evrugo Mental State, for which he invented a new currency, a flag, an alphabet (called asura), a passport and even a system of diplomatic relations. In 2001 he adopted a new name, Evru, and attempts to show the global creation of a physical environment and its transformation into art works. His works are present in a number of public and private collections.

Der Künstler, geboren 1946 als Alberto Porta, nahm 1968 den Namen Zush an und kreierte etwa zeitgleich eine parallele Welt namens Evrugo Mental State, für welche er eine eigene Währung, eine Flagge, ein eigenes Alphabet (genannt asura), einen Pass und sogar diplomatische Strukturen in Form von fiktiven Botschaftern entwarf. Seit dem Jahr 2001 nennt er sich Evru und versucht, eine allgemeingültige globale physische Umwelt zu schaffen und diese in Kunstwerke zu transformieren. Seine Werke befinden sich in zahlreichen öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen.
Provenienz: Atelier des Künstlers; erworben 1978 in der Galería Vandrés, Madrid; seitdem Privatsammlung Frankfurt a.M.
