Wolf Kahn

Towards the end of the school year, we studied the magnificent color field paintings of Wolf Kahn.  Color field painters want you to first see the color as the primary subject matter.  Although most color field painters work  non-objectively, Kahn does abstract landscapes.  I love how he keeps things simple and bounces/repeats the color from one color field to another.  Students created their own color field pastel paintings and here is some of their beautiful work.
