<p>Wolf Kahn's landscapes glow like living jewels in brilliant, improbable color combinations. A stand of trees might be backed by vivid orange or bright magenta. Dusky purples and blues are intensified. Leaves shimmer chartreuse. Given that Kahn works in nearly violent colors, his paintings are wonderfully tranquil and evocative of real-world hillsides and weathered buildings. Kahn was at the center of a 1950s movement toward the fusion of representational and abstract art. His affinity for this combination and his genius for capturing the immediacy of nature's hues have brought him to the forefront of the American colorist school. Twelve of Kahn's striking paintings are presented in this calendar.<br />

Born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1927, Wolf Kahn immigrated to the US via England in 1940. In 1945 he graduated from the High School of Music & Art in NY, then spent time in the Navy. Under the GI Bill, he studied with renowned teacher and Abstract Expressionist painter Hans Hofmann, later becoming his studio assistant. In 1950, he enrolled in the University of Chicago graduating in 1951 with a BA degree.Having completed his degree in only one year, Kahn was determined to become a professional artist. He and other former Hofmann students established the Hansa Gallery, a cooperative gallery where Kahn had his first solo exhibition. In 1956, he joined the Grace Borgenicht Gallery, where he exhibited regularly until 1995. Kahn has received a Fulbright Scholarship, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, and an Award in Art from the Academy of Arts and Letters.Traveling extensively, he has painted landscapes in Egypt, Greece, Hawaii, Italy, Kenya, Maine, Mexico, and New Mexico. He spends his summers and autumns in Vermont on a hillside farm, which he and his wife, the painter Emily Mason, have owned since 1968. The unique blend of Realism and formal discipline of Color Field painting sets the work of Wolf Kahn apart. Kahn is an artist who embodies a synthesis of artistic traits - the modern abstract training of Hans Hofmann, the palette of Matisse, Rothko's sweeping bands of color, the atmospheric qualities of American Impressionism. The fusion of color, spontaneity and representation has produced a rich and expressive body of work.Wolf Kahn regularly exhibits at galleries and museums across North America. His work may be found in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; The Museum of Modern Art, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Hirshhorn Museum and the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.; and the LA County Museum of Art, LA.
