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 serigraph in colours is one out of ten works from the portfolio «Netter Art Collection» with an edition of 250 signed and numbered copies. Published by Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart.
Frank Henry Netter (1906 - 1991) was an American physician who gained great renown for his medical illustrations. In 2000, in order to honour the «Michelangelo of medicine», the Stuttgart-based Thieme Verlag asked ten artists to supply eight drafts each for the book covers on the occasion of a special edition of the nine atlases designed and illustrated by Netter, including a supplementary volume. Of these bundles, one favourite draft was chosen per artist, which served as a cover, and a further one, which was published as part of this edition. Another design by Weiner adorns the cover of the volume 6/10 «Nervensystem II (nervous system II)».

Frank Henry Netter (1906 - 1991) war ein amerikanischer Arzt, der sich durch seine medizinischen Illustrationen großes Renommee erwarb. Um den «Michelangelo der Medizin» gebührend zu ehren, beauftragte der Stuttgarter Thieme Verlag 2000 zehn Künstlerinnen und Künstler damit, anlässlich einer Sonderausgabe der neun von Netter konzipierten und illustrierten Atlanten samt Ergänzungsband, je acht Entwürfe für die Einbände zu liefern. Von diesen Konvoluten wurde pro Künstler ein Favorit gewählt, der als Einband fungierte, sowie einer, der als Teil dieser Edition herausgegeben wurde.
Ein weiterer Entwurf Weiners ziert das Cover des Bands 6/10 «Nervensystem II».
