Wolf Kahn

I saw a few Wolf Kahn landscapes at the Smithsonian last weekend when I was in DC. "I'm always trying to get to a danger point in color, where color either becomes too sweet or it becomes too harsh, it becomes too noisy or too quiet, and at that point I still want the picture to be strong, forceful, and the carrier of everything that a painting has to have: contrast, drama, austerity."
