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».

The Pop-Art artist Peter Max and the Statue of Liberty are inseparably linked. Since 1976, he has been intensively occupied with the symbolic power of the statue, for the restoration of which he actively campaigned in the 1980s. Max himself says of his Statues of Liberty, which he has created in painting and graphic art in various series, but rarely as sculptures: «I wanted to honor this amazing democracy that the Statue of Liberty symbolizes.» from: Link.
The 250 copies of this bronze edition are all hand-painted differently and thus have a unique character.
