Artist Biography

Ellen Kuhn was a painter and printmaker born in Munich, Germany who in August 1939 fled with her family to New York, catching the last Holland-America line ship. They settled in Harlem, where she attended her first life-drawing class aged eight. As a teenager she studied at the University of Wisconsin, completing a Master's in Fine Art at Berkeley, California. After meeting and marrying scientist John Charap in San Francisco, the couple moved to England, settling in London. Her work ranged from commercial printing to Abstract Expressionism the latter deriving from her period in New York. During the 1960’s, she also produced work that drew on civil unrest including the war in Vietnam. She taught at the Henrietta Barnett School, the London College of Furniture and Camden Arts Institute. The Ben Uri Gallery and the V&A have examples.
