Hare and Hunting Boots 1926

"Hare and Hunting Boots" (1926) by American artist Walt Kuhn (1877-1949) is a striking still life that depicts a dead hare and hunting boots. The artist utilizes a muted color palette and simplified forms to create a sense of realism and immediacy. Kuhn's work was influenced by the Ashcan School, a movement that depicted the gritty reality of everyday life in America. This painting reflects the style of the movement with its subject matter and focus on everyday objects.
