Bob Kuhn (1920-2007)
Winter Chase, 1995
bronze, 12/20
11 x 24 x 6 inches
inscribed: Kuhn 12/20
Bob Kuhn, born in Buffalo, New York, developed a passion for animals early on. After attending the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1937, Kuhn served in World War II, finding his artistic voice while illustrating for sporting publications. Kuhn’s meticulous research and bold style made him a sought-after wildlife illustrator. Transitioning to fine art in 1970, he specialized in acrylic paintings capturing the essence and movement of wild animals in their natural habitats. Kuhn only made four bronze sculptures, in collaboration with his longtime friend George Northup. The fox was a special subject matter to the artist, who was inspired by the wildlife around his own home. Kuhn’s foxes are still some of his most coveted works.
