Walt Kuhn's early cartoons of birds for Life, circa 1906.
Kuhn would go on to be an important painter. In 1913, he organized the famous Armory Show, which was the first large-scale introduction in America to European Modernism. Kuhn's first exhibition in 1905 established himself both as a cartoonist and a serious painter. He was noted for his memorable and arresting portraits of circus and vaudeville entertainers. His paintings art part of most major American collections.
Kuhn's bird cartoons display finely lined detail and a wry sense of humor, reflecting human attributes both in drawing and character.
Enjoy this 1908 collection.
