The most definitive and uptodate book on the vibrant paintings and pastels by this popular modern master, which now serves as a memorable tribute to his artistic legacy.A celebration of the work of the beloved American artist Wolf Kahn (19272020), this volume focuses on the vivid colors of his luscious landscapes made in oil and in pastel during the last decade of his life. The last study of Kahns art to be produced during his lifetime, and prepared in close collaboration with the artist, this publication now serves as a memorable tribute to his remarkable talents and legacy.A refugee from Nazi Germany, Wolf Kahn immigrated to the U.S. in 1940, and after settling in New York City he studied with the influential artist and teacher Hans Hofmann. Kahns radiant hues, tangy color contrasts, and pervasive sense of light combine realism with the discipline of color field painting and place him at the forefront of American representational artists. This richly illustrated book features a generous selection of paintings and pastels that showcase his bold, freewheeling style and feature a unique blend of realism and abstraction.During the last decade of his long and accomplished career, Kahn traded in the oftenlyrical palette of his earlier landscapes for an increasingly brash and assertive chromatic visionevidenced in electric hues ranging from acid yellow and hazard orange to saturated thalo blue. His late largescale oils, depicting his favored subjects of barns and treelined fields and rivers, abound with visual energy. Art historian Sasha Nicholas puts Kahn in context with other artists and situates his late work within his broader career. William Agee, who met with Kahn for several interviews, discusses his process and most recent paintings. An illustrated chronology, with littleseen personal images, offers additional insights into the life and career of this renowned modern master.
