According to Dr. H. L. Heck, Director of the Zoological Gardens of Berlin, “Kuhnert did not attain the pinnacle of his ability and his unprecedented position in the art world until his travels to wild Africa. He, himself, realized that early on, and so he continued to have a burning desire to return again and again. As the finest artist in his field, he was able to portray African big game in its natural habitat, but from his own perspective. His images provide indescribable pleasure to those of us who come in contact with these animals in our profession or who pursue them in the field.”
