Professor Hermann Dischler
25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935
Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.
1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Piece of art or vandalism? - What Harald Naegeli sprayed on the walls of Zurich since 1977 «[...] was a protest against the inhospitability of cities, of architecture», as the sprayer pointed out in a Spiegel article in 2013 (in: Sarah Levy, Graffiti-Pionier Harald Naegeli, die Dosenrevolution, in: Der Spiegel, 27.08.2013). Society saw him controversially as somewhere between «modern-day Till Eulenspiegel», who created new graffitis every night, and a vandal. For the judiciary, he was clearly the latter.
For years on the run from the authorities, he found exile in Germany, more precisely in Düsseldorf, sheltered by the local art scene. In the meantime, he has returned to his hometown, more or less in reconciliation. Anyway, Naegeli has achieved one thing, and that is to pave the way for the next generation of street artists.
