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.

«Pulsar Orange». Serigraph in colours on canvas. Verso signed, dated (19)70 as well as numbered «5/VI». Minor stains.
H 70, W 70 cm.
Serigraph from the series «Pulsar», which was produced in eight colour variations, each in an edition of maximum ten pieces. Printed and published by Edition Rottloff, Karlsruhe.
In the 1960s, Lothar Quinte's work underwent a radical change towards strict geometry and chromatic gradation. In this process, the so-called «colour slits» were created, which energetically break up his otherwise monochrome colour surfaces and refer to the straight edges and angular breaks of American hard-edge painting.

Serigraphie aus der Folge «Pulsar», die in acht Farbvarianten, jeweils in einer Auflage von maximal zehn Stück entstand. Gedruckt und herausgegeben von Edition Rottloff, Karlsruhe.
Das Werk von Lothar Quinte erfuhr in den 1960er Jahren einen radikalen Wandel hin zu strenger Geometrie und chromatischer Abstufung. In diesem Zuge entstanden die sogenannten «Farbschlitze», die seine ansonsten monochromen Farbflächen energetisch aufbrechen und damit an die geraden Kanten und Winkelbrechungen der amerikanischen Hard Edge-Malerei erinnern.
