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».

«Building on different forerunners, [...] in the 1950s and 60s, a real light-kinetic movement of some broad impact could unfold. The role played by the Düsseldorf-based group ZERO can hardly be overestimated [...]. The slogans were "light, dynamics, vibration, cosmos". [...] Hans Schork's light art, with which he began at the end of the 1960s, is thus an impression of the times' spirit. [...] But Schork found the way to his art through his profession as a surveying technician. [...] He created a seemingly never-ending continuum using different patterns in the front and turntable. [...] Caution, restraint and concentration are the essential characteristics of Hans Schork's light objects.» from: Henrike Holsing, Hans Schorks Lichtobjekte - Der Kosmos im Kasten, Aschaffenburg, 2010/11.

«Auf unterschiedlichen Vorläufern aufbauend, konnte sich [...] in den 1950er und 60er Jahren eine regelrechte lichtkinetische Bewegung von einiger Breitenwirkung entfalten. Eine kaum zu überschätzende Rolle spielte dabei die Düsseldorfer Gruppe ZERO [...]. Schlagworte waren "Licht, Dynamik, Vibration, Kosmos". [...] Hans Schorks Ende der 1960er Jahre einsetzende Lichtkunst ist also Eindruck eines Zeitgeistes. [...] Den Weg zu seiner eigenen Kunst aber fand Schork durch seinen Beruf als Vermessungstechniker. [...] Durch unterschiedliche Muster in Front- und Drehscheibe erzeugte er ein scheinbar nie endendes Kontinuum. [...] Behutsamkeit, Zurückhaltung und Konzentration gehören zu den wesentlichen Merkmalen von Hans Schorks Lichtobjekten.» aus: Henrike Holsing, Hans Schorks Lichtobjekte - Der Kosmos im Kasten, Aschaffenburg, 2010/11.
