Description
WALT KUHN (1877-1949), American painter. After studying in many European countries, he helped organize the famous Armory Show (International Exhibition of Modern Art, New York City, 1913). He is noted chiefly for his vigorous studies of circus performers, chorines, and trapeze athletes. His Blue Clown (1931, Whitney Museum, New York City) is the most popular example of his work. He also did a number of brilliant still lifes, as well as designs for musical reviews. Kuhn helped introduce the techniques and theories of modern art to the American public and to many American artists. Offered here is an autograph note unsigned but he makes sketch at bottom. Done on thin tissue-like paper it reads: "If you make a lot of commotion getting B. off shut the door of this room - please." He then makes sketch of man sleeping in bed. Paper is wrinkled but does pull out smooth. Scanned wrinkled.Picture of Kuhn is NOT included here.
