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».

«In 1972, I created my first single picture of a glass. Since 1974, at least 50 paintings have been created each year, showing an empty water glass on a white table surface against a white background. The painted glass is in natural size in the picture. The external conditions, such as lighting, distances, picture format remain unchanged. [...]
I chose the glass through the need to do something very simple.
After six years of painting grey surfaces, in which the grey painted surface moved only slightly, for example in the shape of a plate, then by painting light, then by enlarging objects tenfold - all not really simple.
An object that everyone knows seemed simple to me. Simple not in the sense of form, but in the sense of everyday perception, which we do not perceive as unusual at all, which belongs to our use without thinking about it.» Peter Dreher, from: https://www.peter-dreher.de/TagumTag.
Provenance: gift of the artist; since then private collection High Rhine.
