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.

As one of the leading artists of kinetic art and op-art, it has been one of Adolf Luther's artistic quests to make the invisible visible in order to understand a reality, which is evading the depictive representation. At the beginning of the 1960s Luther left the classic way of painting and instead used light, the immediate factor of design, as his primary artistic medium. In this period he created light tunnels, convex mirror and lens objects.

Als einer der Hauptvertreter der kinetischen Kunst und der Op-Art war es Adolf Luther ein künstlerisches Bestreben, das Unsichtbare sichtbar zu machen, um so eine Wirklichkeit zu begreifen, die sich der bildnerisch abbildenden Darstellung entzieht. Ab Beginn der 1960er Jahre verabschiedete sich Luther vom klassischen Tafelbild und machte stattdessen das Licht als unmittelbaren Gestaltungsfaktor im Raum zu seinem primären künstlerischen Medium. In dieser Zeit entstanden Lichtschleusen, Hohlspiegel- und Linsenobjekte.
