Wolf Kahn, known for his combination of Realism and Color Field, worked in pastel, oil paint, and printmaking. He studied under Hans Hofmann, and graduated from the University of Chicago. "When I look at a barn, it is never the barn by itself that engages me, but the way it grows out of the land, the way the sky and trees surround it, and how the horizon is interrupted by the barn’s silhouette." — Wolf Kahn
