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».

«The pandemic has taken the artist on countless walks through nearby forests and meadows. Beyond all natural romanticism, the warning signs of the creeping and sometimes obvious destruction captivated him and inspired him to numerous screen prints on wood and wood veneer. The wood tone and the natural grain against a nebulous background and the silhouette of the once unfathomable forest stand for natural processes of change as well as for threats to biodiversity, which are ultimately the basis of our lives. There are no apocalyptic motifs, but intuitive perceptions of changes in aesthetically touching time markers.» from: Link.
