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».

Serigraph from the series «Pulsar», which was produced in eight colour variations, each in an edition of maximum ten pieces. Printed and published by Edition Rottloff, Karlsruhe.
In the 1960s, Lothar Quinte's work underwent a radical change towards strict geometry and chromatic gradation. In this process, the so-called «colour slits» were created, which energetically break up his otherwise monochrome colour surfaces and refer to the straight edges and angular breaks of American hard-edge painting.

Serigraphie aus der Folge «Pulsar», die in acht Farbvarianten, jeweils in einer Auflage von maximal zehn Stück entstand. Gedruckt und herausgegeben von Edition Rottloff, Karlsruhe.
Das Werk von Lothar Quinte erfuhr in den 1960er Jahren einen radikalen Wandel hin zu strenger Geometrie und chromatischer Abstufung. In diesem Zuge entstanden die sogenannten «Farbschlitze», die seine ansonsten monochromen Farbflächen energetisch aufbrechen und damit an die geraden Kanten und Winkelbrechungen der amerikanischen Hard Edge-Malerei erinnern.
