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».

«Ernst Marow was attached to naturalism, studied nature and had the interest in bringing the primal elements and primal components of the earth before the viewer in all their power and presence. [...] corresponding to the painter's realistic conception of form: his landscape paintings, which - reduced to the immediacy of nature and without metaphor - draw the viewer into them and their habitat, where one looks back and looks out...» Sabine Schulz, from: http://www.ernstmarow.de/Der-Maler-Graphiker.
Marow often changed the titles of his paintings after he had modified them. Some works were repainted over decades according to his current understanding of art.
