Hermann Dischler (1866 - 1935)

Hermann Dischler

Hermann Dischler was a German painter.

He studied at the Grand Ducal Art School in Karlsruhe and opened his own studio in Freiburg in 1896. In 1907 he built his "artist's house" in Hinterzarten, where he organized permanent art exhibitions.

As a basis for his works, Dischler used his own photographs, which he projected directly onto canvas and then painted landscapes. He was most successful with his snowy winter paintings. Due to their documentary nature, these works have historical value today.

Hermann Dischler was a board member of the Baden Free Artists Association. In 1917 he was awarded the title of professor and in 1926 he became an honorary member of the regional association Badische Heimat.
