The definitive monograph on a beloved California painter—reissued in a more accessible trim size and price, bringing his work to a wider audience.Enter the brilliant world of one of the most important and influential American artists of the postwar era. This finely crafted reissue brings Diebenkorn’s acclaimed 2019 monograph to a more general readership, while preserving the elegant design, multiple paper stocks, and visual richness of the original volume.Featuring more than 350 works, this retrospective follows five decades of Diebenkorn’s evolving practice—from the atmospheric abstractions of his early years to the radiant Berkeley and Ocean Park series that capture the light, color, and expansive coastal horizons of California. An artist of uncommon range, Diebenkorn absorbed and transformed many layers of influence—from Henri Matisse and Piet Mondrian to Edward Hopper and the New York School—in developing a visual language unmistakably his own. The portrait that emerges is of an artist moving with assurance between abstraction and figuration, producing paintings, prints, and drawings that are rigorous, exploratory, and profoundly humane.Essays and reflections by leading art historians, fellow artists, close friends, and family complement a rich array of images. These diverse texts punctuate and reinforce the timeline of the artist’s life and development, offering both scholarly and deeply personal perspectives on his artistic process and work.

The most definitive and up-to-date book on the vibrant paintings and pastels by this popular modern master, which now serves as a memorable tribute to his artistic legacy.A celebration of the work of the beloved American artist Wolf Kahn (1927-2020), this volume focuses on the vivid colors of his luscious landscapes made in oil and in pastel during the last decade of his life. The last study of Kahn's art to be produced during his lifetime, and prepared in close collaboration with the artist, this publication now serves as a memorable tribute to his remarkable talents and legacy. A refugee from Nazi Germany, Wolf Kahn immigrated to the U.S. in 1940, and after settling in New York City he studied with the influential artist and teacher Hans Hofmann. Kahn's radiant hues, tangy color contrasts, and pervasive sense of light combine realism with the discipline of color field painting and place him at the forefront of American representational artists. This richly illustrated book features a generous selection of paintings and pastels that showcase his bold, freewheeling style and feature a unique blend of realism and abstraction.During the last decade of his long and accomplished career, Kahn traded in the often-lyrical palette of his earlier landscapes for an increasingly brash and assertive chromatic vision--evidenced in electric hues ranging from acid yellow and hazard orange to saturated thalo blue. His late large-scale oils, depicting his favored subjects of barns and tree-lined fields and rivers, abound with visual energy. Art historian Sasha Nicholas puts Kahn in context with other artists and situates his late work within his broader career. William Agee, who met with Kahn for several interviews, discusses his process and most recent paintings. An illustrated chronology, with little-seen personal images, offers additional insights into the life and career of this renowned modern master.
