Description
A Louisville native, Norman Kohlhepp was born in 1892. As a young man he attended Manual High School and later the University of Cincinnati, where he earned an engineering degree. Norman’s adult life took him in numerous directions, including: service abroad in France during World War I, an engineering career, and both personal and philanthropic involvement in the arts—locally and internationally. Handsome and smart, the story of Norman Kohlhepp, the engineer soldier turned artist reads like something straight off a Hollywood screen. Join Filson staffer Johna Ebling as she explores the life and art of Norman Kohlhepp as told through his personal photographs and artwork.
