"Wildcat" was created by Kohn to illustrate the high school mascot for his 30 year reunion brochure. Kohn attended Kokomo High School in Indiana and donated one of his "Wildcat" etchings to his graduating class of 1934. Wildcat is what you’d expect from a school mascot — intimidating, frightening, and attention-grabbing. Throughout his career, Kohn periodically depicted a variety of animals in his work.
