Kurt Löb (1924 – 2015) was a draftsman, painter, graphic artist and graphic designer. He was known mainly for his illustrations.
He spent his primary school years at the Private Jewish Forest School Kaliski in Berlin.[1] In 1939, the Löb family had to flee Germany to escape the Nazi regime.
From 1942 to 1947 he studied at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. From 1948 to 1953 he studied the practice of illustration and typography in the studio of Lettergieterij Amsterdam.
Kurt Löb was a master of the summary indication. Because he did not work from models or directly from what he observed, and let his motifs arise from his imagination, this gave him the opportunity to let his chalk and pencil lines flow freely from the wrist.
From 1957 to 1982 he was a teacher at the Royal Academy of Art and Design in 's-Hertogenbosch. In the years 1973, 1980 and 1984 he was professor at the International Summer Academy for Visual Arts in Salzburg, and also held visiting professorships in Essen, Antwerp and Jerusalem.
