Hans E. Oberländer was a member of the German Association of Artists .

“He is seldom concerned with a pure landscape representation; his subject is always the people in the landscape, a problem that he has just tackled in a variety of ways in his pictures taken in Fischland. [...] His artistic handwriting is unmistakable and his representations are reminiscent of the Dutch painters of the 17th century who created scenes from peasant life. "

- Hermann Glander and Erich Venzmer
