Wolf Kahn

Wolf Kahn was born on October 4 1927 in Stuttgart, Germany and died on 15 March 2020 in New York, NY.

Kahn is known for his combination of Realism and Color Field; he worked in pastel, oil paint, and printmaking. He studied under Hans Hofmann, and graduated from the University of Chicago.

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, and the atmospheric qualities of American Impressionism.
