Kuhn studied art in Bern, Zurich and Stuttgart before settling in Bern where he became the art director and exhibition designer for their Museum of Natural History, all the while continuing to work freelance. His renown is largely due to the extensive work he did for the Museum, for which he designed many posters, such as this image for an exhibition on cormorants and fish. He has also received great acclaim for his posters promoting boxing matches.
