Information about Fred Kulz is slowly coming to light. Kulz, we learn, was active in the early 1890s and prolific into the Twenties as a designer and artist, equally at ease with photo paste-ups or elegant pen and ink drawings, for sheet music covers. He produced a number of color covers for magazine and newspaper supplements, many of them for Boston-based papers, in a very elegant and highly detailed Art Nouveau style. By the late Twenties, as a movie poster artist, he had switched to a robust, pulp magazine style packed with action, often painted in bold colors.
