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».

Circa 1905. Stoneware, high-firing glazed in red, dark purple, blue and green. Incised signature «Dalpayrat» under the base.

Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat, who is known above all for his eccentric combinations of zoomorphic figures and anatomically intricate Art Nouveau ceramics, devoted himself from 1889 onwards to artistic ceramic objects, to which he lent individual character with his characteristic «Rouge Dalpayrat», a translucent sang de boeuf colour. The «flamed stoneware», first shown in an exhibition in the prestigious Gallery Petit, Paris, in 1892, found its way into well-known collections from then on. Dalpayrat's works, which were awarded the gold medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900, are now established works in important museum collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the British Museum, London.

Paar große Schultervasen.
Um 1905. Steinzeug, rot, dunkelviolett, blau und grün scharffeuerglasiert. Unter dem Boden Ritzsignatur «Dalpayrat».
H. 41,5, D. 27 cm.
Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat, der vor allem für seine exzentrischen Kombinationen von zoomorphen Figuren und anatomisch-verschlungenen Jugendstil Keramiken bekannt ist, widmet sich ab 1889 den kunstkeramischen Objekten, denen er mit seinem charakteristischem «Rouge Dalpayrat», einem durchscheinenden Ochsenblutrot, Individualcharakter verleiht. Das «geflammte Steingut», erstmalig gezeigt anlässlich einer Ausstellung in der renommierten Galerie Petit, Paris, im Jahre 1892, fand von da an Einzug in bekannte Sammlungen. Dalpayrats Werke, die 1900 auf der Pariser Weltausstellung mit der Goldmedaille ausgezeichnet wurden, sind heute etablierte Werke wichtiger Museumssammlungen wie dem Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, und dem British Museum, London.
