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».

«At the beginning of the 1970s, the name ‹Regentag (rainy day)› played a special role. When Hundertwasser named his ship ‹Regentag›, he also gave himself this name. In
Hundertwasser also worked with the German art printer Günter Dietz in Lengmoos/Bavaria during this time, in whose studio the ten serigraph prints of the portfolio ‹Look at it on a Rainy Day› were created. The complicated printing process with a multitude of colour separations, phosphorescent colours or reflecting glass dust layers led to increased luminosity and delightful colour effects.» from: https://hundertwasser.com/news_detail?&news_id=1652286518565.
