Bluhm was incredibly smart and originally wanted to be an architect<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Throughout his childhood and teenage years, Bluhm excelled in school. At the early age of 16, he attended the Armour (now called Illinois) Institute of Technology, where he spent time with famous architects such as Mies van de Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. He fought in World War II<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Bluhm was drafted into the U.S. Air Force during World War II. He later returned home, though, severely injured and emotionally devastated\u2013\u2013both from the scenes he saw overseas, and from losing his brother, who died while also serving in the Air Force.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Bluhm traveled to Italy to study art<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">After recovering from the trauma of the war, Bluhm gave up his dream of being an architect to pursue art because he wanted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsy.net\/show\/scott-white-contemporary-art-norman-bluhm-1956-1960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;life that was his own&#8221;<\/a> rather than a career he felt was chosen for him. He decided to move to Florence, Italy, where he studied fine art at the Academia de Belle Arte.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. He later moved to Paris to further his studies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Bluhm went to Paris, France after completing his studies in Italy; there, he attended the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts, one of the world\u2019s most famous art schools. While in Paris, Bluhm met other artists such as&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Paul \u00c9luard, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5.
