Kuhn refers to the year, 1929, when he moved into his 18th St. studio in New York City, the studio he maintained until the end of his life. There he kept costumes for his models who would sit for portraits. Also in 1929, Kuhn gained a great deal of attention through the exhibition of his painting, "The White Clown," at the newly established Museum of Modern Art in New York.
