Description: 800x600 PLEASE READ SHIPPING DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BUYING! To learn more about us please click on our profile ON DEMAND WE ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (money-back-guarantee) Carl Kahler was born in 1855 in Linz, Austria. He studied at the Munich Academy, as well as in Paris. During the 1880's he was very well known in Germany and Austria. As an itinerant artist, in 1886 Kahler sailed to Australia, where his works were very well received and in demand. While there, he was awarded the commission for four paintings of the Melbourne Cup (racing event) and others in New Zealand. Upon initially moving to New York (1890), and, briefly after, to San Francisco (1891), Kahler opened a studio, where he specialized in figure painting. The local press called him "an erratic genius" who asked enormous prices for his works, and would often destroy a painting if he was unhappy with it, or if he thought it would sell for less than he felt it was worth. Kahler was a member of the Society of Independent Artists. He exhibited in Berlin (1880), Dresden, Munich, Vienna, San Francisco (1892-1902), at the World's Columbian Expo (Chicago, 1893), etc. His works are rare. It is known that Kahler lived in 1921-26 in New York; his track is then lost. Our additional images show several other cat paintings of this artist. Provenance: Private collection, New York.
