Peter Kloehn (b. 1943) is an American photographer and master printmaker who taught at various institutions while working professionally as both photographer and printmaker. He earned a BA from University of Wisconsin, Madison and MFA California Institute of the Arts, Valencia. Kloehn works can be separated into two visual categories of collages: Matisse-inspired pattern pieces that utilize color theory and pure aesthetics and and intensely detailed altar pieces documenting Afro-Brazilian culture in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. He was a master of the Ilfochrome printer and printed professionally for other renown photographic artists in NY. Kloehn exhibited internationally in Europe and South America. His collected works can be found in Sam Wegstaff/Getty Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Davidson College, Humboldt State, and University of Brasilia (Recife).
