The most complete retrospective on the famous American landscape artist Wolf Kahn
Wolf Kahn’s evocative landscape paintings combine direct observation, an awareness of underlying geometry and vibrant colour. This comprehensive volume offers an in-depth survey of the life and work of a renowned American original, tracing his evolution from precocious early drawings to mature paintings.
Wolf Kahn (1927–2020), born to a distinguished, cultivated Jewish family, was forced to flee Frankfurt in 1939, arriving in the United States via England in 1940. After studying with Hans Hofmann in New York, Kahn developed a highly original approach to landscape painting based on the evocative power of colour, bringing an established American tradition into the present. Kahn’s inventive paintings parallel his compelling life story.
