Congratulations to Peter Kuper, Fine Art ’82, a 2026 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Illustrated Reporting and Commentary. ICYMI: Peter is featured in our Pratt Alumni Book Club series. Link in bio to watch Peter's conversation with Jorge Oliver, Dean of the School of Art. Central to Peter’s creative process are acts of fluidity, experimentation, and discovery. “It was really like the joy of opening a door, and you did not know what was going to happen when you walked through it and what you would stumble upon.”
