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».

Famous Hollywood stars and the world of film influence many of Friedemann Hahn's works. He takes his motifs from a wide variety of sources: Photos from magazines, stills from films, advertisements in front of cinemas or illustrations from monographs of the stars. The depiction of faces and hands is particularly important to him, but he also pays great attention to the accessories of the portrayed. Focusing on seemingly insignificant details of clothing, he expresses the personality and essence of the person: here the cynic in a trench coat with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth.
