The synthesis of realism and the formal discipline of color field painting is embodied in the brilliant paintings of Wolf Kahn (American, b. Germany 1927). A wooded hillside ablaze with orange, magenta, and chartreuse. A parade of trees grounded by emerald green. Bold bands of color compete for your attention, yet a sense of place remains palpable. You can almost feel the breeze among the birches and hear the crickets in the grass.
