Gustav Kühn was a member of the Rostock Artists Association founded in 1919 . The last reference to the painter is the information in the Rostock address book from 1949.
“Starting from a moderate impressionism, he likes to increase his palette to intense glowing colors, preferring eye-catching lighting effects in nature. Technically, he has turned to a spotting manner that is reminiscent of pointilism and does justice to the atmospheric of the sea areas very well. "
