ABOUT THE ARTIST – Click on any Picture to Enlarge it

Les was a good man. He was talented and strived hard to create exceptional paintings. He had an extraordinary sense of  humor and was really fun to work with and be around. He was also a kind and generous man. As I wrote in one of his epitaphs, “Above all, Kouba was an artist whose first hand knowledge of the images he painted made his art both relatable and believable”.

He did a lot of homework studying and photographing his subject matter and how they lived and survived in their environment. This is why they so often tell a story or provide a nostalgic memory.

I always like the words he used describing his painting, “By the Country Store”. You have perhaps read this before but the following is ‘Classic Kouba’:

“By The Country Store”

In 1939, Les Kouba was working his way around America painting Coca-Cola signs. Although it was always his final goal to become a wildlife painter:

“I had to pay my dues and obtain basic training wherever I could. The Country Store was a headquarters for the whole community; often including a post-office, a bus depot and a center of activity for the whole community. Just as we now have Classic Coca-Cola, this is a painting in remembrance of vintage Classic America. We share a lament for what we as a people have lost from these earlier times, but as long as the wild geese fly overhead, we can share their faith and hope for the future” . 

Through his art, people remember great times and places, and the way it was before the fast pace and loss of values we frequently experience in present times.

 

This piece is presently framed as shown in conservation framing with a quality moulding. This frame will be removed upon request of a Buyer.
