Provenance: -Private Collection, United Kingdom -Private Collection Czechslovakia. (The father of the previous seller worked as a doctor in Czechslovakia prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. He encouraged artistic talent amongst his patients, Hugo Scheiber being one of them.) - In 1921, Max Hevesi's exhibited Schieber's works alongside those of a Kádár at Salon in Vienna. This exhibition bought Scheiber's work to public attention, but of equal significance to that of Walden, founder of the avant-garde periodical 'Der Strum'. Scheiber's work was thus jettisoned into Walden's circle of artists, which included Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and Oskar Kokoschka. -Like his avant garde contemporaries, including Gros, Scheiber wanted to capture the decadent post war café and cabaret society. The sensual woman depicted in 'Portrait of a woman wearing a black veil' must then be viewed a protagonist in the theatrical and dissolute nightlife.
