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».

Feininger, Lyonel
1871 New York - 1956 Berlin.
City view with church. Watercolour and India ink on ribbed (Vergé) paper by Ingres (watermark). Signed lower left and dated 13.VII.(19)55 lower right.
Depictions of churches, villages and city views are belonging to the most famous works by Feininger. Since the 1920s the influence of the Bauhaus-aesthetics dominates increasingly. Very accurate straight lines and clear geometric shapes, exemplary visible in the present work by Feininger, are replacing the more dynamic and agitated compositions from his earlier creative period. Since the 1950s works executed in watercolour are gaining importance within his oeuvre.

1871 New York - 1956 Berlin.
Stadtansicht mit Kirche. Aquarell und Tusche auf geripptem (Vergé) Papier von Ingres (Wasserzeichen). U.l. sign. und u.r. 13.VII.(19)55 dat.
Darstellungen von Kirchen, Dörfern und Stadtansichten zählen zu Feiningers berühmtesten Werken. Ab den 1920er Jahren dominiert zunehmend der Einfluss der Ästhetik des Bauhauses. Exakt ausgeführte Geraden und klare geometrische Formen, beispielhaft in der hier gezeigten Arbeit Feiningers erkennbar, lösen die noch eher dynamischen und unruhigen Kompositionen der früheren Schaffensphasen ab. Ab den 1950er Jahren gewinnen in Aquarell ausgeführte Arbeiten immer mehr Bedeutung in Feiningers Gesamtwerk.
