  • Hans Böhler came from an art-loving industrial family. Being of independent means, he was able to devote himself completely to painting. In the mid-1930s he met the African American sculptor Selma Burke while she was studying under Michael Powolny at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna. In 1936 he moved to live with her in New York, where, as a member of the Harlem Renaissance movement, she introduced him to the music, art, and literature scene there. In Vienna he had frequented the legendary Kaiser Bar in Krugerstrasse, which belonged to the family of his former girlfriend Maria Beer-Monti; in New York he became a habitué of jazz bars such as Jack Carter’s in Harlem, where artists performed in defiance of the segregation laws.
