WOLF KAHN
Wolf Kahn, your art depicts unique terrain. It is built on the solid foundation of the landscape masters of an earlier age. At the same time, you incorporate lessons learned from modern abstract expressionism. The result is art with a singular vision.Your distinctive style celebrates nature and our experience of the natural world in startling colors. And justly it has won you wide acclaim. Your paintings hang in many of our nation's most prestigious museums and art galleries, and your work has been featured in many solo exhibitions. The awards you have won include some of the art world's most prized: a Fulbright, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and an Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
These accomplishments are all the more impressive when we consider the humility and humor with which you approach your work and the generosity with which you share your talents. Countless painters have drawn inspiration and insight from your mentorship, and New York is brighter for your service on the city's art commission.
Wolf Kahn, your work puts our world in an entirely new light and we are grateful for the privilege to see it through your eyes.
