Viktor Schreckengost showed enormous talent while a student at The Cleveland Institute of Art (then the Cleveland School of Art). His figure drawing and design renderings from the 1920s are stunning examples of his sensitive approach to form. Viktor never forgot the power of observation; he perfected it in the industrial design products that followed his post-college years.

The Birth of Genius: Viktor Schreckengost and The Cleveland Institute of Art 1924-1929 marks the first time Viktor's student drawings are shown publicly. the exhibition includes sketches of nudes, design concepts, typography, ceramics, renderings of various animals, and much more. It's an extraordinary opportunity to see the birth of a genius!
