apples on branch
Kurt-Hermann Kühn is a German painter and graphic artist. He trained as a decorator and studied from 1946 to 1952 at the Academy of Graphic Arts and Printing in Leipzig and in Berlin at the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts.
Kurt-Hermann Kühn travelled to Syria and Egypt. These journeys are reflected in many of his paintings. In addition to his extensive painting and graphic work, he created many large-format murals, mainly frescoes. His portraits of women and erotic drawings have also attracted much critical attention.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for contributing to the understanding of evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental concept in science. In a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history, and he was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey.
