About the Item
Walt Kuhn (1877-1949), Strong Girl, drypoint, 1916 [signed in pencil by Kenneth Hays Miller and inscribed “Zinc sheet E printed by Howard Moore Park 1928”). In very good condition, printed on a cream wove paper, 7 1/2 x 5 1/4, the sheet 11 1/8 x 8 1/2 inches.
Provenance: ex Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of New York, with their stamp verso.
ex Coll: Jonathan Greenberg, New York City
A very good impression of this rare early Kuhn print.
This is listed as number 48 in the Kennedy Galleries Walt Kuhn Checklist, made for an exhibit of his prints in 1967; it is cited as a print where no more than 6 impressions are known to exist.
Kuhn was of course intimately familiar with circuses and carnivals. To the left of the Strong Girl holding the barbells is another woman, less muscular, perhaps a trapeze artist.
Kenneth Hays Miller was an important figure in modernist art for many years, a teacher of Reginald Marsh, Isabel Bishop and other members of the 14th Street “school”, and a prominent artist and printmaker in his own right.

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.
