About Richard Kozlow
- Richard Kozlow (May 5, 1926 – July 29, 2008) was an artist who lived in Detroit, Michigan.
- During his prolific career he painted well over a thousand works. Born in Detroit in 1926, Richard Kozlow's formal training was limited to his abbreviated studies at Cass Technical High School and the College for Creative Studies.
- After his 1946 discharge from the World War II US Navy, Kozlow spent two years painting and working in New York City.
- Although his work had achieved some success (and a favorable New York Times mention), he returned to Detroit to marry the love of his life and "get a job". At this time (as throughout his career), his paintings used materials in new ways, delving into the textures of old walls and peeling posters.
- He won (among others) the Museum Purchase prizes of the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Butler Art Institute.
