Wolf Kahn immigrated to the United States in 1940.  He attended the High School of Music and Arts in New York City and graduated in 1945.  After a short period in the U.S. Navy, Kahn studied at the New School for Social Research before enrolling in Hans Hofmann’s School of Fine Arts in New York City.  He eventually earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Chicago in 1951 and traveled extensively around the United States.  A well-respected colorist, Kahn contrasts simple forms with carefully balanced colors.  Artists such as George Inness and Edward Hopper influenced some of his colorful landscape views of Mexico, Italy, Greece, Kenya, and America.  Here, Kahn's highly personal vision of nature predominates.
