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».

«Salome».
Acrylic on canvas. Signed lower right and dated (19)87.
H 145,
At a banquet, the beautiful Salome is said to have enchanted King Herod so much by performing a seductive veil dance that he granted her a wish, after which she asked for the beheading of John the Baptist. The sensual and wicked eroticism of this perfidious arrangement excited the vivid imagination of artists of all eras. Birgit Schneider's version shows a self-confident dancer caught in a dynamic movement, with a shimmering, colourful cloth loosely draped around her hips. At second glance, a skull in the background can be assumed that refers to the fate of John.

Bei einem Bankett soll die schöne Salome durch einen verführerischen Schleiertanz den König Herodes so bezaubert haben, dass er ihr einen Wunsch frei gab, worauf sie nach der Enthauptung Johannes des Täufers verlangte. Die sinnlich-verruchte Erotik dieser perfiden Abmachung erregte die blühende Phantasie von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aller Epochen. Birgit Schneiders Version zeigt eine selbstbewusste Tänzerin in einer dynamischen Bewegung festgehalten, ein flirrendes, buntes Tuch locker um die Hüften gelegt. Auf den zweiten Blick erahnt man im Hintergrund einen Totenkopf, der auf das Schicksal des Johannes verweist.
