original black and white ink drawing inspired by Vienna, Austria and Cafe Hawelka
**this is 100% Original, one of a kind artwork and once sold it will no longer be available for purchase
Superb chance to purchase a quality piece of art directly from the artist with no gallery commission**
Café Hawelka reeks of authenticity. It seeps out of the worn upholstered seats on the corner sofas, the chipped wooden chairs cluttered around marble tables, and the threads of fraying velvet curtains. Authentic…and old, the insides barely changed in the 80 or so years since the legendary Leopold und Josefine Hawelka first began serving coffee there.
The hospitality shown by the Hawelkas eventually led to their coffee house establishing a reputation as the post-war haunt of young artists, writers and intellectuals. Arthur Miller visited. So did Henry Miller. And Andy Warhol.
Apparently, the art critic Alfred Schmeller (1920-1990) once said: "If I’m not at home, then I’m in the Hawelka. And if I’m not in the Hawelka, then I’m on my way to the Hawelka". Echoes of this boiling pot of creativity remain on the walls. Posters advertising local art exhibitions cover one side of the cafe. Original artwork dots other walls, some presumably accepted in payment for debts run up by impecunious artists.
