Peter Kuch
Peter Kuch was born in Winnipeg on February 17, 1917, the only child of Ann and Martin Kuch. He received his education in Winnipeg and his art training at Musgrove's Art Studio under Alexander Musgrove. Before the Second World War, he taught at the Saturday Morning Art School. With the outbreak of the war, Kuch enlisted and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, completing a tour of operations overseas.
After his discharge from the services, Kuch returned to Canada in 1945 and began working for the Winnipeg Free Press in 1946. He started in the Art Department and eventually became Head of the Art Department in 1947. When Archibald Dale retired in 1952, Kuch took over the position of Editorial Cartoonist and Art Director, a position he held until his death. In addition to his editorial cartoons, he also developed a weekly feature called "Sally Brown."
Kuch published two collections of his political cartoons depicting Prime Minister John Diefenbaker: "Five Years of Following John" in 1962 and "'Dief' The Incredible Chief" in 1978. His cartoons were included in exhibitions in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Beyond cartooning, Kuch developed a reputation as a portrait painter and painted watercolor, oil, and pastel landscapes. He also illustrated several books dealing with Manitoba and collections of Ukrainian folk stories. He received the City of Winnipeg Community Service Award (also referred to as the Citizen's Award of Merit) in 1970. Kuch died unmarried at the Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg on June 14, 1980, and was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.
