About the Item
Walt Kuhn (1877-1949), [Nude on Couch, Right Arm on Leg], c. 1920, etching, signed in pencil lower margin. In very good condition, traces of discoloration in margins, the full sheet on yellow/cream laid paper, 8 5/8 x 6, the sheet 11 3/4 x 9 1/8 inches, archival mounting.
A fine impression.
Walt Kuhn was born in Brooklyn, and after a period of study art in Europe, he returned to the US to work as a cartoonist; illustrator, and developing artist. Aware of the great surge of modernist artistic activity in Europe, he joined with others to encourage Arthur B. Davies to get behind the idea of bringing a great European modernist art show to the US, and traveled with Davies to Europe to select art for the occasion (which became the 1913 Armory Show).
Nude on Couch, Right Arm on Leg was probably done c. 1920 when Kuhn, Davies, and a few others in the US were experimenting with modernism as they developed their printmaking skills. The influence of Matisse is apparent. Kuhn successfully continued printmaking and painting in a modernist mode for the next 30 or so years.

Walt Kuhn
Walt Kuhn (1877-1949) He was associated with "The Eight" and with Arthur B. Davies, was a the key figure in forming the American Association of painters and Sculptors that organized the Armory Show of 1913 that introduced modernist European art to America. Kuhn was executive secretary of the Association and traveled abroad to select entries for the Armory Show. He was strongly influenced by Cezanne which is evident in many of his paintings. Like Cezanne, he destroyed many of his paintings, keeping only about a dozen a year. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and in 1900 first used the name Walt when illustrating magazines in San Francisco. He studied at the Royal Academy in Munich from 1901 to 1903 and returned to New York where he worked as a cartoonist and magazine illustrator. In the permanent collection of most major museums worldwide. His record price for a painting to date is 1.6 Million dollars.
