About the Artist:

Columbus artist Edmund Kuehn (1916-2011) graduated from the Columbus Art School (now Columbus College of Art and Design) in 1938, later becoming an associate professor. After studying in New York with various artists, he returned to take a curatorial position at the Columbus Museum of Art, moving on to an Assistant Director in 1963. Kuehn’s intimate and sophisticated work demonstrates a keen interest in, and understanding of, art history; from the Italian Renaissance to the multiple-perspective Cubist sculptural forms of the twentieth century. Kuehn stated that his search is “to find [in the] building blocks of design and color a cool analytic means to tame a given shape to an abundant flow of emotions and creative intent. . . . As a painter I am interested in both the seen and the unseen. To express the things of the visible world I use signs in the shape of simple silhouettes or complex forms divided by light or shade. For the expression of things unseen, those that evolve before the inner eye, I invent designs that create an equivalent syntax.”
