LUTEFISK UNLIMITED by Les Kouba is a pencil signed limited edition print by Les C. Kouba. The framed size is 17″ X 17″.Offered framed as shown in mint condition and still in the original box. Comes with printed ‘Lutefisk’ stamp in the frame, plus one additional 45 Kroner Lutefisk stamp (packed in a separate envelope attached to the hanging wire).

Included, at no additional cost while they last, is a Lutefisk Unlimited “Scratch & Sniff” Board. This board, with rose-malling by Karen Jenson, is an excellent compliment to hang with “Lutefisk Unlimited”. My picture shows this a bit larger than it actually is relative to the framed print. The size is 9” X 8 1/2”.

Contact us for further information on this print or Les Kouba as we have nearly 300 different images in stock.

Note the picture of Les Kouba painting one of his famous pieces, “In Shelter”.

ABOUT THE ARTIST – Click on any picture to make it larger

Les was a good man. He was talented and strived hard to create exceptional paintings. He had an extraordinary sense of  humor and was really fun to work with and be around. He was also a kind and generous man. As I wrote in one of his epitaphs, “Above all, Kouba was an artist whose first hand knowledge of the images he painted made his art both relatable and believable”.

He did a lot of homework studying and photographing his subject matter and how they lived and survived in their environment. This is why they so often tell a story or provide a nostalgic memory.

I always like the words he used describing his painting, “By the Country Store”. You have perhaps read this before but the following is ‘Classic Kouba’:

In 1939, Les Kouba was working his way around America painting Coca-Cola signs. Although it was always his final goal to become a wildlife painter:

“I had to pay my dues and obtain basic training wherever I could. The Country Store was a headquarters for the whole community; often including a post-office, a bus depot and a center of activity for the whole community. Just as we now have Classic Coca-Cola, this is a painting in remembrance of vintage Classic America. We share a lament for what we as a people have lost from these earlier times, but as long as the wild geese fly overhead, we can share their faith and hope for the future” . 

Through his art, people remember great times and places, and the way it was before the fast pace and loss of values we frequently experience in present times.
