The paintings of one of America’s most contemporary landscape painters is on display till November 26, 2016 at ACME Fine Art. The Fall exhibition: Wolf Kahn: Early Work will focus on the 1960s, the decade in which he catapulted to fame. Many of the fifteen works, fourteen oil paintings and one pastel have never been exhibited.These paintings also chronicle Kahn’s travel to Martha’s Vineyard, Maine, Rome and Milan and capture the Italian countryside.This is also the period in which he evolved as a painter,moving from ‘energetic, stacatto brushwork and riotous colors’ to being a minimalist, with subtle yet energetic landscapes.Six of the paintings at ACME trace Kahn’s artistic journey from his move to Venice and then back again to New York in 1958. Among them areSailboat in the Summer’s HeatandSails Near Sprucehead Maine.His visit to Italy again in 1962 and then going back to Martha’s Vineyard and Maine mark the second part of the exhibition, in which the colors creep back in.For more information log on to http://www.acmefineart.com/modern-american/wolf-kahn-early-work.htmlThe exhibition is on view at ACME, Fine Art, 1, Thayer Street at 450 Harrison Avenue, Boston, USAClick on the slide show for a sneak peekof the exhibition.
