Today is Rockne Krebs’ birthday, born in 1938, he would have been 86. In celebration of his birthday and his art, we looked to his childhood photo album and a frequent subject in his art, horses. The photographs are of Rockne and his mother, Lorine Krebs in 1940, when he was 2 years old, in 1941, and in 1943 when he was 5 years old.
