Born in rural Washington in 1927, Edward Kienholz began learning carpentry, auto mechanics and metalwork as he grew up working on his family farm. A man of many trades, Kienholz worked a variety of jobs while attending Washington College of Education and Whitworth College, never completing a degree. Discarding a future of farm work and higher education, Kienholz began to independently study painting, resulting in his move to Los Angeles in 1953. In Los Angeles, Kienholz began exploring and producing large wooden reliefs composed of found objects and industrial waste.
