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».

Semmer, Bettina
Born 1955 Düsseldorf, lives and works in Berlin.
«Kleine Schwimmerinnen 6 (little swimmers 6)».
Oil on canvas. Verso signed and dated (20)02.
H 40,5,
Semmer's «Kleine Schwimmerinnen 6 (little swimmers 6)» are assigned to her «Schlachtensee series», which was created between 2002 and 2004, based on photographs of the eponymous recreation area in Berlin. With the transfer into oil, she not only joins the observation and artistic processing of special social spaces of the French Impressionists in terms of content. She also translates in an exemplary manner those characteristics of light, mood and vibration that the early plein air painters defined as antipodes to French academic painting.
Provenance: private collection Berlin.
Literature: Bettina Semmer (Ed.), Bettina Semmer, With an essay by Ludwig Seyfarth, Berlin 2023, pp. 105 ff., pp. 196 - 197 (cf.).
