The Life of an Artist: Wolf Kahn

Painter Wolf Kahn, who claims to hate traveling has written a "travel book" illustrated with his own brightly colored landscapes. Wolf Kahn's America: An Artist's Travels is a record of the American locales Wolf Kahn has visited over the past forty-odd years in order to teach a workshop, attend an exhibition of his work or fulfill a commission from a wealthy patron. A refugee from Nazi Germany, born in 1927, he says he prefers the comforts of home to the anxieties of travel, but he finds visual inspiration everywhere he goes- even in a restaurant parking lot overlooking a marsh.
