Robert Koehler
Robert Koehler emigrated to the United States from
Germany when he was four years old. He worked and studied
art in Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and New York City. From the
1870s to the early 1890s, he returned to Germany
periodically to study painting at the Munich School. From
1893 to 1914, he was director of the Minneapolis School of
Fine Arts, then housed in the Minneapolis Public Library on
Hennepin Avenue and Tenth Street. One of Koehler's favorite
subjects while in Minneapolis was the rapidly growing city
itself.
