Wolf Kahn Art Quotes - (5 quotes)

Wolf Kahn - From the Change category:

It is through color changes that we go forward... all decisions come about as the picture is made and in response to painterly demands. The descriptive and anecdotal come second. (Wolf Kahn)

Wolf Kahn - From the Colour category:

The artist's alertness to the coloristic demands of each picture, the ability to respond to the picture's needs, to feed the color until its appetite is satiated; these are the true measures of a colorist's talent. (Wolf Kahn)

Wolf Kahn - From the Innocence category:

Keep the childlike vision and remain true to your ideas. (Wolf Kahn)

Wolf Kahn - From the Nature category:

People mistakenly think that art is about nature, or about an artist's feelings about nature. It is instead a path of enlightenment and pleasure, one of many paths, where nature and the artist's feelings are merely raw material. (Wolf Kahn)

Wolf Kahn - From the Subject category:

To be a landscape painter is to be a perverse individual. (Wolf Kahn)
