An article in Wildlife: The Artists View, claimed that Bob Kuhn is without peer. His work represents the best of wildlife art and has been described as having the ability to take its viewers into the very midst of Nature's places, almost into the minds of the animals themselves.
A name synonymous with wildlife art and excellence for over 50 years. Bob Kuhn was born in Buffalo, NY. Educated at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn NY. He was an illustrator for most of the top outdoor magazines during the 40's, 50's and 60's and graduated to gallery work in 1970. He has not broken stride since.
