Eugen von Kahler

From 1901 to 1905, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, with Heinrich Knirr and Franz von Stuck.

He was a regular patron at the Café Du Dôme,[2] where his associates included Friedrich Ahlers-Hestermann, Oskar Moll, Jules Pascin, Elisabeth Epstein and Sonia Terk.

[1] The following year, he visited Tunisia and Algeria, which inspired him to create numerous works with Orientalist themes; some of which were shown at an exhibit by the Neue Künstlervereinigung München in 1911.

His estate was managed by his cousin, the writer Erich von Kahler, who discovered a large number of poems.

They were published in 1914 by Poeschel & Trepte, as a limited edition, under the title Sinnen und Gesang (roughly, Feelings and Song).
