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».

At the end of the 1970s a nostalgia, the longing for the splendour of yesterday in society arose. The Hollywood stars of the 1920s and 1930s became popular motifs in the arts. Friedemann Hahn reflects this nostalgia in a devotedly fascinated attitude towards his models, in strong contrast to his American contemporaries Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
Provenance: private collection Lörrach.

Am Ende der 1970er Jahre kam eine Nostalgie, die Sehnsucht nach dem Glanz von Gestern in der Gesellschaft auf. Die Hollywood Stars der 1920er und 1930er Jahre wurden zu einem beliebten Motiv in der Kunst. Friedemann Hahn gibt diese Nostalgie in einer ergeben-faszinierten Haltung gegenüber seinen Modellen wieder, im starken Kontrast zu seinen amerikanischen Zeitgenossen Andy Warhol und Roy Lichtenstein.
Provenienz: Privatsammlung Lörrach.
