Sculptor Gabriel Kohn was born in Philadelphia in 1910. He studied at New York City's Cooper Union and Beaux-Arts Institute of Design from 1929 to 1934, while working for academic sculptors. From 1935 to 1942, he was a motion picture set designer in Hollywood.
After World War II, in 1946, he studied with Ossip Zadkine in Paris, living abroad until 1951. While there, he began to develop his own style, a combination of Cubist and Surrealist elements. His favorite materials were terra cotta (showing 500 of 1747 characters). |
