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.

1933 Soncino - 1963 Mailand.
«Linea 8 M. Long». Tusche/Papier in Kartonbox. Blatt Papier mit schwarzer Linie, eingerollt in schwarzer, zylindrischer Box. Papier sign. und 11/59 dat., Box 12/59 dat. H. 22,5, D. 5,8 cm.
Die Werke des italienischen Künstlers Manzoni stellen zumeist das Konzept und die Idee in den Vordergrund. So auch seine Linien-Serie, die zwischen 1959 und 1961 entstand und zu welcher «Linea 8 M. Long» zählt. Hierfür zeichnete er schwarze Linien auf Papier, die in ihrer Länge variieren. Die Papierstreifen rollte Manzoni ein, verpackte diese in zylindrische Boxen und versah die Boxen mit Etiketten, die die Länge und das Entstehungsdatum des Objektes markieren. Die Papierrollen sollten nur in diesen versiegelten Boxen verkauft oder ausgestellt werden, so dass der Betrachter das eigentliche Werk nicht sieht und lediglich durch das angebrachte Etikett eine Idee der Arbeit erzeugt wird. «The nature of the 'Linea' is eternal and infinite, the concept is everything. I put the 'Linea' in a container so that people can buy the idea of the 'Linea'. I sell an idea, an idea closed in a container» (Manzoni-Zitat aus Jens Jornsen Thorsen, Hanschelger ideer pa daser, 'Aktuelt', Copenhagen, 20. Juni 1960).
