Life and Work
Josef Woldemar Keller-Kühne studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts from 1921 to 1930. His teachers at the time included Heinrich von Zügel and Angelo Jank. During semester breaks he traveled to Austria, Hungary, France, Latvia and Finland.

In 1930 Keller-Kühne completed his academic education. In the academy certificate drawn up by his teacher Heinrich von Hügel we read among other things: "The undersigned presents to his former student Keller-Kühne the certificate that he managed to bring his exceptional talent to the highest level

In 1951 Keller-Kühne moved with his family to Harzberg (Miesbach), where he lived and worked ever since. He devoted himself more to hunting and continued to work as a painter. In addition to animal motifs, landscapes, city views and portraits were created.
