Walt Kuhn (1877-1949) American painter and an organizer of the famous Armory Show of 1913, which was America's first large-scale introduction to European Modernism. Rare b/w print pulled directly from the original block. The block was made for a 1932 Kuhn family Christmas card. During the 1930s up until around 1940, the Kuhn family sent out cards printed from the blocks that were hand-colored by Walt Kuhn and Brenda [daughter]. It is unknown how much watercoloring that each did on all those cards. In later years, Brenda had photo-mechanical reproductions made, which she herself hand-colored and sent out. One of those hand-colored [by Brenda] reproductions of this 1932 print is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute. Over the years we've noticed that these Christmas cards have been sold as original watercolors. To be more specific - those Christmas cards could technically be described as watercolors although since it is known how much of the coloring was done by Walt himself it seems a little misleading to call those prints watercolors by Walt Kuhn. The black & white print offered here was pulled from the original block which we own. Image approx. 5-1/4 x 6" plus margins. PICTURE of Kuhn is NOT included here.
