Professor Hermann Dischler
25th September 1866 – 20th March 1935
Hermann Dischler was born on the 25th of September in 1866 in Freiburg i.Br. He received his artistic training in the art school in Karlsruhe, he was student of Gustav Schönleber. Thereafter he was engaged as a painter in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald area.
1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Tournier, Jean Ulrich
1802 Illzach - 1882 Mühlhausen.
Still life with grapes and sparrows in front of a wall niche. Oil on canvas, relined. Signed lower right and dated 1824. Verso on the stretcher inscribed on a gallery label with the artist's life data and titled. Restored.
The still life painter Jean Ulrich Tournier, highly esteemed during his lifetime and today wrongly fallen into oblivion, executed this beautiful work with masterly precision at the age of only 22 years. Although he quotes motifs of the Dutch still life paintings of the 16th and 17th Century, without however referring to their original iconographical context, and composes them under clear decorative aspects into an ensemble of irresistible beauty. This is reflected clearly in the painter's pleasure of characterising different surface appearances, when he is comparing the skilfully painted light downy skin of the peaches with the smooth, partially dusted glossiness of the depicted grapes.

1802 Illzach - 1882 Mühlhausen.
Traubenstillleben in einer Mauernische mit Spatzen. Öl auf Leinwand, doubliert. U.r. sign. und 1824 dat. Verso auf dem Keilrahmen ein Galerieetikett, bez. mit den Lebensdaten des Künstlers und bet. Altrest.
Der zu Lebzeiten hoch geschätzte und heute zu Unrecht weitgehend in Vergessenheit geratene Stilllebenmaler Jean Ulrich Tournier schuf dieses mit meisterlicher Präzision ausgeführte Werk im Alter von nur 22 Jahren. Dabei zitiert er Bildelemente der niederländischen Stilllebenmalerei des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts, ohne jedoch auf ihren ursprünglichen ikonographischen Zusammenhang Bezug zu nehmen, und komponiert sie unter rein dekorativen Gesichtspunkten zu einem Ensemble von bestechender Schönheit. Besonders deutlich ist die Freude des Malers an der Charakterisierung unterschiedlicher Oberflächen erkennbar. So wird die malerisch äußerst gekonnte Darstellung der leicht flaumigen Haut der Pfirsiche dem glatten, teilweise bestäubten Glanz der Trauben gegenübergestellt.
