Condition: Very good. - Three autograph letters penned on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper. The letters, two of which were addressed to Fridolf Johnson and the third to American Artist Magazine editor Norman Kent, regard the periodical's review of the "Animals in Art" exhibition held at the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, New York. The letters are as follows:1. A one page autograph letter signed by Harry Wickey, as curator of the exhibition, penned on Storm King Art Center stationery. In his letter dated July 21, 1964, Wickey writes to Fridolf Johnson, then executive director of American Artist that "Twenty Six photographs of the items you are interested in including in the American Artist's review of the Storm King Art Center's Animals in Art Exhibition were mailed to you today." Wickey had hoped to mail these sooner but "ran into difficulties owing to the fact that the photos of Durers Rhinoceros and Tarts Cattle in a Stable had been mislaid." Signed in full "Harry Wickey" as curator.2. A one-and-a-half page autograph letter signed by Wickey penned on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper. In his letter addressed to Fridolf Johnson on September 3, 1964, Wicky explains that he is sending a "list of items with the sizes of the originals". He explains that he "has photos on hand" off all the items except "Russells Grey Eagle", and expresses his thanks to Fridolf Johnson & Norman Kent for their forthcoming review. Signed in full by Harry Wickey.3. A one-page autograph letter signed by Harry Wickey on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper.

He goes on to express his hope that Norman Kent will come to view the forthcoming George Grosz exhibition as well as that on contemporary Japanese prints which John Heliker is curating. Signed "Harry Wickey".

Condition: Good. Cloth bound book and video disk in slipcase. Both signed by the artist as one of 100 copies. .Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Robert Kuhn (1920-2007) began his lifelong fascination with wild animals while sketching at the Buffalo Zoo. He went on to study design, anatomy and life drawing at the Pratt Institute in New York City. His detailed paintings of animals in landscape made him one of the most popular wildlife illustrators in America. Over his thirty-year career, he became recognized for his ability to capture the particular gestures and personalities of his subjects. Kuhn's work spans both North American and African subject matter. .When Robert Frederick Kuhn was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1920., it was the golden age of illustration?a time before photography became widespread. Editors relied on Illustrators to graphically bring stories to life and create compelling cover art that would coax people into snatching up magazines. It was an important job, and the talented artists were paid handsomely. N.C. Wyeth, J.C. Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell, and Dean Cornwell were household names. Bob often said, "It was a time when illustrators were big shots." Paul Bransom and Charles Livingston Bull were two of the leading animal illustrators of the day. Bull was one of the premiere wildlife artists of the early 1900s and is widely remembered for his work in Jack London's Call of the Wild. "Of all the wildlife artists, none so profoundly affected me as did Paul Bransom," Bob said. "I was captivated by his confident, sure touch with animals done simply and with knowledge. The forms and gestures of his animals were right, distilled with first-hand observation." Upon graduating high school, Bob conjured up the courage to reach out to Bransom for critique and guidance. Bransom was accommodating, and it would be one of the best moves Bob ever made. The veteran artist saw great promise in Bob's work and could tell he had the fire in his belly. Bransom encouraged him to draw every day, always study the animals, and really drink them in?to observe them as if he would never see them again. It was advice Bob would take to heart.…
