Est: €8,000 - €16,000
Hans Böhler* (Vienna 1884 - 1961 Vienna) Flower still life oil/canvas 73 x 54 cm verso estate stamp Hans Böhler SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 8000 - 16000 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 8000 Hans Böhler, an Austrian artist from an industrialist family, attended the Jaschke painting school and briefly the Vienna Academy. Early on, he was influenced by the Vienna Secession (first exhibition in 1908) and the Wiener Werkstätte, becoming a member of the Neukunstgruppe (New Art Group) in 1909 and maintaining close contact with Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, whose works he supported through acquisitions. Study trips took him to Russia, Japan, and China in 1910, and to South America and the USA in 1913, where he emigrated in 1936. Böhler's Cubo-Futurist phase, characterized by geometric abstraction, Cubist compositions, and abstract painting, shows influences from Max Klinger, Oskar Kokoschka, Wassily Kandinsky, and František Kupka, complemented by watercolor and gouache techniques similar to those of the Hagen Society. Arthur Rössler's monograph was published in 1929, and Böhler became a member of the Vienna Secession in 1934, with a major exhibition in 1950. Retrospectives in London, Vienna and Munich honored his work alongside that of Josef Dobrowsky, Anton Faistauer and Carry Hauser as a bridge between Constructivism and classical Viennese Modernism.

Charcoal drawing "Female Nude", by Hans Böhler, around 1918-20
Est: €2,400 - €3,000
Charcoal on paper Austria, around 1918-20 Hans Böhler (1884-1961) - Austrian painter and graphic artist Monogrammed lower right, "HB" Framed, behind glass and in passe-partout Drawings by Böhler fetch up to 4,000 euros at international auctions Overall dimensions, framed: 40 x 56 cm Good condition Hans Böhler is known for his expressionistic, strongly coloured portrait paintings; but also his landscapes and precisely outlined nude drawings are among the best of their kind. The drawing at hand shows a young woman lying in a seductive pose on her back. Her body is shown from the side and she has bent her left arm over her face thus partly covering it. Her taunting look and her mouth, twisted into a small smile, can still be seen. Her other hand lies on one of her thighs that are resting a bit higher since she has her knees bent. Each raising and immersion and each of her body's curves have been accurately banned on paper. Still, Böhler is not exposing the imperfections of the female body but rather paying his respects without the need to palliate. It is a friendly, undisguised and realistic image, neither judged nor retouched. The clear outlines and the unusual pose of the young woman remind of Böhler's famous contemporary, the great Egon Schiele. The sheet is in good condition with some creasing and minor tears along the margin. It is framed behind glass in a passe-partout and the frame shows a few traces of wear. The overall dimensions, framed, are 40 x 56 cm, and the dimensions of the sheet measure 31 x 47.5 cm. The paper is monogrammed on the lower right, "HB", and inscribed on verso, "HANS BÖHLER". Hans Böhler (1884-1961) Hans Böhler (also Boehler) studied at the private painting school Jaschke in Vienna. At the young age of 20 years, he already exhibited at the Wiener Secession. He travelled throughout Europe and Russia after he finished his studies to learn about the different countries' artistic traditions. He was a close friend of Josef Hoffmann who designed his studio in Vienna. In 1954, he was awarded the title of professor in Vienna. A large collection of his artworks can be seen at the Leopold Museum in Vienna.
