In the 1950s and 1960s a group of young artists forged a fresh, representational art that made use of the Abstract Expressionists' spontaneous brushwork and brilliant colour to document the world. One of the leaders of this group, Wolf Kahn, specialized in landscape painting, which he has developed over the last 40 years. This book aims to demonstrate how his use of colour has placed him at the forefront of American representational art. The text presents an overview of Kahn's life and career - his childhood in Germany, his study at the Hans Hofman school, his early success as a latter-day Expressionist, and his ten years as a painter of austere, tonalist canvases, before he turned to the luminous landscapes that established his reputation. There is also an analytical essay by the painter and critic Louis Finkelstein which discusses the origins and value of Kahn's fusion of abstraction and representation.

Hardcover. Zustand: VG/VG. Black cloth, color pictorial dust jacket. 164 pp. 28 bw, 100 color plates. Includes an essay written by Louis Finklestein. A terrific book which provides the biographical details about the artist's life as well as sumptuous color plates of his artwork. "Working within a predominantly abstractionist context, a group of younger artists forged a mode of representational art in the 1950s and 1960s that made use of Abstract Expressionist painterly freedom and spontaneity in order to document the life around them. Wolf Kahn, one of the leaders of this group, directed this approach toward the painting of the landscape, which he has steadfastly developed over a period of forty years. Today Kahn's unique use of color has placed him at the forefront of American representational art, and has made him one of the most highly regarded colorists working in America today. Wolf Kahn presents an overview of the artist's life and prolific career. Starting with the young Kahn's early years as a drawing prodigy, the author, Justin Spring, continues with the artist's study with Hans Hofmann, his early success as a latter-day Expressionist, and his ten years as a painter of austere, tonalist canvases, finally leading to the brilliant, high-keyed landscapes that have established his reputation.".
