'''Hermann Dischler''' (25 September 1866 in [[Freiburg im Breisgau]] - 20 March 1935 in [[Hinterzarten]]) was a German painter.

== Life ==
Discler was born the son of a [[cigar]] and colonial goods [[merchant]]. From 1885 to 1894, he studied at the [[Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe]], where he was a master student of [[Gustav Schönleber]] from 1888. During his studies, he completed his [[military service]] as a one-year volunteer in 1887. In 1890, he undertook a trip to the Netherlands. From 1896, he ran his own [[studio]] in the [[Stühlinger]] district of Freiburg. In the 1890s, he undertook further journeys, including to [[Franconia]], the [[Odenwald]], the [[Markgräflerland]], [[Alsace]], the [[Palatinate (region)|Palatinate]] and through southern Germany. From 1901 onwards, he repeatedly stayed in the [[Black Forest]], in 1902 at the [[Zastler Hut]], in 1903 at the Halde ([[Schauinsland]]), in 1904 together with [[Wilhelm Nagel]] in [[St. Märgen]], in 1905-1907 at the [[Todtnauer Hut]]. He was chairman of the [[Breisgauer Fünfer]] artists' association founded in Freiburg in 1899. ([[Julius Heffner]], [[Fritz Reiss]], [[Carl Schuster]], [[Ludwig Zorn]]). From 1901 to 1909 he was on the board of the Badischer [[Schwarzwaldverein]].

In 1907, he established his "Künstlerhaus" in Hinterzarten, where he organised permanent art exhibitions. He was a member of the board of the "Freie Künstlervereinigung Baden". In 1917, he was awarded the title of professor by [[Frederick II, Grand Duke of Baden]], and in 1926 he became an honorary member of the [[Landesverein Badische Heimat]]. In 1927, the exhibition association [[Die Schwarzwälder]] ([[Curt Liebich]], Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, [[Wilhelm Wickertsheimer]] and others), founded in 1926, organised a first special exhibition.

== Work ==
Dischler used his own photographs as compositional models, which he projected directly onto the canvas, in order to then transform them into a specific [[mood]] in terms of colour. Autumnal [[landscape]]s, March atmospheres, but above all wintry snow pictures were his preferred motifs. Due to the correspondence between the photographic model and the painterly execution, Dischler's works are of inestimable [[documentary]] value today with regard to the changing cultural landscape.
