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».

Work from Fred Rolf's extensive cycle «Streifenbilder (striped pictures)».
«Lines - Fred Rolf calls them stripes - were, alongside colour field painting, a theme that constantly challenged him and grew from many years of work as an architect. The first published painting was created in 1998, a striped painting on a wooden board from the construction industry. From the beginning it was clear to him that he would only work with oil paint - diluted at first, later straight from the tube. First on paper, then wood, chipboards, steel plates or even found objects, Fred Rolf produced a great variety with a similar structure. He also developed palette knife works on canvas or wooden panels. Rolf experimented a lot - for example, from 2006 onwards with horizontal structures and impasto brushstrokes. Different widths and long colour-coordinated dividing stripes were inserted. Thus, wet-on-wet works in oil paint were created on wood or canvas.» from: Joachim Frommherz, Künstler auf einer Linie, in: Badische Zeitung, 18.12.2015.
