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».

1865 Bromberg - 1908 Berlin-Schlachtensee.
J¸discher Friedhof in Berlin. Pastell/Papier. Grabstein zwischen hochgewachsenem Gras, bl¸henden Str”uchern und B”umen stehend. U.l. sign. und (18)92 dat. H. 36,5, B. 53,5 cm (Darstellung).
Malte Leistikow zun”chst weite, von Staffagefig¸rchen belebte Ebenen und Ufergel”nde, begann sich seine Palette sp”ter aufzuhellen und die Betonung des Stimmungswertes der Landschaft die Staffage zu ersetzen. Auch unser eindrucksvolles, fein gemaltes Pastell weist eine freundliche, helle Farbpalette auf. Die Darstellung des Grabsteins des ¸berwucherten Friedhofs steht im Kontrast zu der sommerlichen Leichtigkeit, die das Werk verspr¸ht und verleiht diesem einen melancholischen Unterton.
Provenienz: Erworben in den 1970er Jahren im Kunsthaus Hans Peter B¸hler, M¸nchen; Privatbesitz.
