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».

«[…] Susi Juvan does not paint because it is chic to be a painter, nor because she wants to make big money with it or because she learned it at the academy. She paints because she has something to say that cannot be said in any other way than with and through her paintings. Her project, which has become more urgent over the years and decades, is of a singular, impressive stringency.» Martin R. Dean, in: Der Weg zu einem Bild, speech at the awarding of the Reinhold-Schneider Prize, 07.04.2016, in: Link.
Provenance: purchased at Galerie Baumgarten, Freiburg i.Br.; since then private collection Southern Germany.
