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».

«Material pictures, collages, assemblages or object pictures? Jupp Linssen's works are all of these, but none of them exclusively and in the narrowest sense. Like many artists of his generation, for whom the creative handling of ‹non-art› fragments of reality practised since early modernism - since Duchamp's readymades, the cubist collages and Schwitters' Merzbilder - has long since become a matter of course, Linssen resorts to found materials, which he makes an integral part of his pictorial works. The found objects are ‹poor› materials, bulky waste relics such as zinc sheets, old wooden slats and parts of other disused utensils. His sensitivity to the material - the faded, dulled sheet metal, the weathered, exhausted wood, the oxidised iron - is expressed in the material- and texture-oriented painting, which consciously dissolves the aesthetic boundary between what is found and what is artistically produced.» from: http://www.jupplinssen.de/index_daten.htm.
