Wolf Kahn

American 1927-2020
Wolf Kahn, a German born American artist Known for his combination of realism and color field worked in pastel, oil paint and printmaking. Wolf Kahn was known for his use of arbitrary or non-naturalistic color in his landscape paintings. He often used vibrant and unexpected color combinations to convey the emotional and sensory experience of the natural world rather than reproducing it realistically. In his work, you might find trees, fields, and other elements of the landscape rendered in colors that deviate from their real-world appearances. This approach created a unique and expressive visual language that set his work apart and contributed to his significance in the art world.  Kahn's work helped to redefine traditional landscape painting. He combined abstraction and realism, simplifying natural forms while infusing them with intense color. This approach pushed the boundaries of landscape art and encouraged other artists to experiment with new ways of representing the natural world.
