Les Kouba (1917–1998) was an American wildlife artist known for his detailed and vibrant depictions of North American wildlife and hunting scenes. Born in Hutchinson, Minnesota, Kouba developed an early interest in wildlife and the outdoors, which became central themes in his work. His career gained momentum in the 1940s and 1950s with paintings of ducks, geese, pheasants, and other game birds. Kouba's artwork is characterized by precise attention to anatomical detail and naturalistic settings. His contributions to wildlife art helped popularize the genre, and his work remains influential in the field.
