Archive Label 1999: Encouraged by his editor at the St. Louis Mirror, Bloch, then an illustrator, went to Europe in 1908 for artistic training. In Munich in 1911, Bloch was impressed with the innovations of Wassily Kandinsky and became the only American to exhibit with his Blaue Reiter group of German Expressionists. Back in the United States in 1921, Bloch taught briefly in Chicago before coming to Lawrence, where he headed the Department of Drawing and Painting at the University of Kansas from 1923-47. For the remainder of his career, Bloch shunned changing artistic trends, preferring to concentrate on his personal style of realism to depict the bountiful Kansas landscape.
