Hans Kuhn, October 12, 1905 in Baden-Baden - December 12, 1991 ibid. was a German painter, graphic artist and university professor.
Kuhn studied from 1924 to 1926 under Ludwig Meidner in Berlin and from 1926 to 1929 under Bissière in Paris. From 1929 to 1935 he lived in Italy, where he met Werner Gilles, whose circle of artists he later remained associated with. From 1936 to 1941 he lived in Berlin. From 1937 he was banned from exhibiting. After completing his military service (1941–45) and being a prisoner of war in Baden-Baden, Karl Hofer appointed him to the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin, where he worked until 1974. From 1975 he lived alternately in Baden-Baden and Berlin. In 1969 he received the State Prize of Baden-Württemberg. Hans Kuhn was a board member of the German Artists' Association from 1951 to 1968.
According to Günther Wirth, from 1950 onwards he “detached himself from strongly object-related compositions and increased the tendencies towards abstraction, so that at times he arrived at non-objective images.”
