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».

Morat, Wilhelm
Born 1954 Neustadt/Black Forest, lives and works in Titisee-Neustadt.
Torso.
Handmade flax paper with enclosed copper welding wires. Signed inside the middle und dated 2001.
H 31,
Wilhelm Morat is of the opinion that paper is nothing other than transformed nature. The shape of this work is created by inserting copper welding wires in between the individual layers of the still liquid paper. As the torso dries, water evaporates and the fibres of the paper shrink and harden, pulling the wires with them and letting a copper sketch appear. Through this the wires bend and a two-dimensional surface becomes something of volume, set in motion by airflow and thermal.
