- Lot Description
Bob Kuhn (1920-2007)
Close but No Cigar, 2003
signed and dated "Kuhn 03" lower left
acrylic on board, 13 3/4 by 23 1/4 in.
Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Bob Kuhn enjoyed visiting the Buffalo Zoo and sketching its inhabitants as a child. After studying design, anatomy, and life drawing at the Pratt Institute in New York City, Kuhn made his living working as an illustrator for various wildlife and outdoor magazines. In the early 1970s, Kuhn switched to painting full time. Kuhn's work is featured in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming; the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and the John L. Wehle Gallery of Sporting Art at the Genesee Country Village and Museum in Mumford, New York.
Kuhn's most notable works capture the twisting and turning of predators in pursuit of their prey. In this painting, a pouncing bobcat attempts to seize a flying grouse in a snowy, winter landscape. It relates closely to his famous and widely published work "Survival Tactics," depicting the same species.
