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.

A turning point that triggered the emergence of a new phase in Hammerstiel's work was his trip to New York in 1988. Manhattan inspired the artist with its unusualness and garishness and moved him to rediscover colours and radically simplify his figural language. From then on, he renounced everything incidental in his painting. Although this landscape painting of his adopted hometown of Ternitz in Lower Austria is rare in terms of its subject matter and concentrates entirely on the landscape without Hammerstiel's typical foreground figures, it nevertheless has everything that characterises the artist's main work: shapes reduced to the essential and strong, vivid colours. It is a very personal homage to the place where he lived for many years.
