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».

Swiniarski, Tadeusz
Geb. 1961 Radom in Polen, lebt und arbeitet in Hallbergmoos bei München und Stary Wielislaw in Polen.
«Landschaft (landscape)». Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. Verso signed twice, dated 1993, titled and with indication of dimensions. Verso on the stretcher a label of Europa Gallery, Munich, with the work's data. Unframed.
The artist was born in 1961 in Poland and studied painting with Professor Gerd Winner at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, after he relocated to Germany in 1989. His works, mainly large sized canvas executed in expressive colours, are influenced and shaped by the cultural environment between Germany and Poland. The style of Tadeusz paintings can be located somewhere between Modern, Expressionism and Contemporary Art, while he is taking his visual subjects by the meeting of opposites in all areas of everyday life. Several works by the artist were decorating the entrance hall of the Hannover Fair in 1995.

Der 1961 in Polen geborene Künstler lebt seit 1989 in Deutschland und besuchte die Akademie der Bildenden Künste bei Professor Gerd Winner in München. Seine Arbeiten, meist großformatige Werke in expressiven Farben, werden seit jeher durch das kulturelle Spannungsfeld zwischen Deutschland und Polen beeinflusst und geprägt. Stilistisch können Tadeusz' Werke zwischen Moderne, Expressionismus und zeitgenössischer Kunst angesiedelt werden, während seine Bildthemen, seien sie abstrakt oder mit realen Anklängen, das Aufeinandertreffen von Gegensätzen in allen Bereichen des Lebens behandeln. Mehrere Arbeiten des Künstlers schmückten 1995 die Empfangshalle der Messe in Hannover.
