Summary: Beautiful
Review: I had never even heard of Wolf Kahn until I saw this book at a local store. I looked through it fell in love with the art and had to have it. I recieved the book as a present(ordered from amazon--saved 15 bucks or so) and loved it. It has great info on Kahns life and comments on style, use of color etc. But what really makes this book great are the pages and pages of paintings. What makes most art books truly great(to me at least) is a lot of high quality color photos of the artists work to go along with some insightful commentary. This has many. From his early works up to as recent as 1995 paintings I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the painting on the cover. If you like that you will not be disappointed

Summary: WOLF KAHN, A GREAT AMERICAN EXPRESSIONIST LANDSCAPE ARTIST
Review: _____________________________________________________________________________This artist's paintings are destined to earn him a coveted and honored place in art history. A brilliant colorist, his works are minimalist in nature, and of nature. This book contains many breathtaking reproductions of oil paintings and pastel drawings from various periods of his life - concentrating on his later works. Meandering throughout these is an informative narrative on the artist's life, family, friends, colleagues and his art philosophy. I've looked at various books on Wolf Kahn and personally feel this one is the most detailed and comprehensive. I believe it also has the largest number of his works illustrated and is of larger dimensions than the other books. The reproductions are of high quality and the colors very vibrant. If you like tasteful and vibrantly colored expressionist landscapes it's impossible to go wrong with Wolf Kahn. 5 stars all the way.
