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».

An almost disturbing effect and a dismissively cool, literally sterile atmosphere are typical of Maina-Miriam Munsky's photorealistic paintings, which show operating theatres in action, often in monumental format. The co-founder of the Berlin artist group «Gruppe Aspekt», who can be classified as a Critical Realist, left more than mere documentation of medical events to posterity. Her works convey in an oppressive way the dark and mysterious world, that few patients like to imagine, the sphere of powerlessness and absolute helplessness on the operating table, and thus for many people they cross the sensitive border of their emotional comfort zone.

Eine nahezu beunruhigende Wirkung und eine abweisend kühle, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes sterile Atmosphäre sind typisch für Maina-Miriam Munskys photorealistische Gemälde, die Operationssäle im laufenden Betrieb zeigen, oft in monumentalem Format. Die Mitbegründerin der Berliner «Gruppe Aspekt», die sich dem Kritischen Realismus zuordnen lässt, hinterließ der Nachwelt mehr als bloße Dokumentationen medizinischen Geschehens. Ihre Werke vermitteln auf beklemmende Weise die düster-geheimnisvolle Welt, die sich die wenigsten Patientinnen und Patienten gerne vorstellen, die Sphäre der Machtlosigkeit und des absoluten Ausgeliefertseins auf dem Operationstisch, und überschreiten damit für viele Menschen die empfindliche Grenze ihrer emotionalen Komfortzone.
