The Morris Museum of Art presents Wolf Kahn Pastels exhibition, open through November 7, 2010.
Widely considered one of America’s finest landscape painters and a master of pastel, Wolf Kahn is undeniably a brilliant colorist.
Color is his signature, and he has this to say of his work, “this is my primary interest. I am always trying to get to the danger point, where color either becomes too sweet or too harsh; too noisy or too quiet.”
Kahn is represented in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Morris Museum of Art, and the National Academy of Design, among others. This exhibition celebrates the artist’s eighty-third birthday.
