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.

As one of the leading artists of concrete art, Piero Dorazio was dedicated to the phenomena of light and colour in his works. Finding inspiration in Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism, Dorazio's œuvre always displayed the for him characteristic consistent geometry and structure. For his abstract visual language, Dorazio predominantly used primary colours, which he overlays, combines, strings together and repeats in a series of different patterns.
«[...] but in a different technique, in which the vertical brushstrokes along the coloured bands are dissolved in a rapid rhythmic sequence. It [the paint] evokes moments when the sunlight seems to linger and focus only on the eyes, sensations and feelings.» from: Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna Roma (Ed.,), Dorazio, Milan 1983, p. 84.
