Otto Kuhler Art

German, 1894-1977

Otto Kuhler was one of the best known industrial designers of the American railroads. According to Trains magazine “he streamstyled more locomotives and railroad cars than Cret, Dreyfuss and Loewy combined.” Kuhler’s extensive concepts for the modernization of the American railroads have repercussions on the railways worldwide until today. Also, Kuhler was a prolific artist of industrial aesthetics and the American West in general.
