Wilhelm Kuhnert
Documented citizenships : Germany
Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert placed animals within living environments rather than treating them as an isolated repertoire of forms. The German painter and illustrator attached particular importance to observation in natural habitats, a principle discussed in his travel account Im Lande meiner Modelle, published in 1918. Journeys from Berlin took him notably to East Africa in 1891–92 and again in 1905–06. The lion held a privileged place in work combining animal painting and landscape. Illustration widened the circulation of his imagery: he contributed to books by Wilhelm Haacke and Alfred Edmund Brehm, as well as collectible pictures for the chocolate manufacturer Stollwerck. His practice thus links the study of animals, field experience and the printed circulation of representations of wildlife.
This profile brings together identity references for Wilhelm Kuhnert and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
