Waldo Glover Kaufer

b. 1906

Waldo Glover Kaufer is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Detroit Institute of Arts.

Waldo Kaufer painted religious scenes steeped in quiet symbolism. Look at Cross and Shroud, where draped fabric and a wooden cross lean against a plain wall, the light catching their textures without fanfare. Born in 1906, his spare style feels more 1930s American scene than dramatic altar art.

Tap Cross and Shroud to stand with the objects a moment longer and notice how the shadows tell their own story.
