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 his mostly large-format works, Michael Eckle devotes himself exclusively to the colour ultramarine. Eckle calls himself «obsessed» with the pigment ultramarine. «It came from across the sea, from oltre mare», he explains in an interview. This is where not only the name of the colour comes from but also the titles of many of his works. «It is the only colour that is present in space with intensity and at the same time give deep space.» from: Stephanie Schwaderer, Im Jenseits der Farben, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 30.09.2016.

In seinen zumeist großformatigen Arbeiten widmet sich Michael Eckle ausschließlich der Farbe Ultramarin. Eckle selbst nennt sich «besessen» von dem Pigment Ultramarin. «Es kam von jenseits der See, von oltre mare», erklärt er in einem Interview. Daher stammt nicht nur der Name der Farbe, sondern auch die Titel zahlreicher seiner Werke. «Es ist die einzige Farbe, die mit Intensität in den Raum gehen und zugleich tiefen Raum geben kann.» aus: Stephanie Schwaderer, Im Jenseits der Farben, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 30.09.2016.
