Wolf Kahn

WOLF KAHN "DARK PINES" SCREENPRINT, 2001

$5,000

Wolf Kahn (1927-2020) was a German-born American artist acclaimed for his stylized landscapes, which blend natural realism with the celebration of color in the spirit of Color Field artists.

His luminous, lyrical images of forests and farmland combined realism with abstraction. Working intuitively, Kahn rejected any psychological underpinnings in his paintings. His landscapes, while grounded in the familiar, seem to exist beyond the realm of reality.

Trees were a consistent subject that Kahn. Having worked as a lumberjack in his youth, the artist's enthusiasm for trees appears throughout his oeuvre. He often sought to translate the densely-layered hilly thickets of the American Northeast through his captivating, atmospheric artworks.

In "Dark Pines," four bands of color make define the composition. At the base of the image, shades of verdant green, punctuated with magenta, blends into a primary yellow color field. The yellow alternates as being understood as both expressive color of sunlight. Tall, slender trees shoot up from the ground, their green and brown foliage mingling or almost submerged against a blue background. Kahn has scraped lines into this section, representing ghost-like presence of a densely-packed forrest. 

This screenprint was commissioned by the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts (in New York City). The image showcases Kahn's ability to capture landscapes with vibrant hues and atmospheric depth. His color choices enliven the scene, resulting in an otherworldly atmosphere that teeters between abstraction and representation.

"Dark Pines" offers an opportunity for collectors to add a signature Kahn motif to their collection.

Today, Kahn's work is celebrated in museums across the globe, including the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), The Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art  and The Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), the Hirshorn Museum and the Smithsonian (Washington, DC), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Art and Industry (Hamburg), among others.
