"Edmund Kuehn: Retrospective 1937-2001"
2002-03-01 until 2002-04-23
Columbus College of Art and Design
Columbus, OH, USA United States of America

Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) is proud to present Edmund Kuehn Retrospective, 1937-2001 which opened Friday in CCAD's Canzani Center Gallery. While the influences of Picasso, Matisse, and Cezanne are easily recognized, Edmund Kuehn's technique and vision give his work a definite independence and distinction.

His paintings resonate with the challenges the painter faces to reconcile a three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface. Kuehn's exquisite use of color and exploration of space results in art that offers aesthetic joy as well as the opportunity for analysis and discovery.

Born in Columbus in 1916, Kuehn graduated from CCAD in 1938. While inspiring future artists as an instructor at CCAD, he also to presented art to a broad audience as a curator and assistant director of the Columbus Museum of Art until he retired in 1976. He was responsible for bringing Picasso's famous mural, Guernica, to the museum in 1941 as part of a tour to raise money for the war effort. Kuehn created a business lunch program at the museum to attract the business community to learn about the traveling exhibitions and the permanent collection, and he brought school children into the museum to introduce them to art. Kuehn once said: Columbus doesn't have great mountains or rivers to boast of, but I thought instead it could have great art.
