Scott Kahn

Scott Kahn (b. 1946) Having studied under Theodoros Stamos, Kahn ultimately graduated from University of Pennsylvania and Rutgers. Throughout the 1970s he entered the milieu of Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner, Stanley Kunitz, and Edward Albee. Kahn's eclectic mentorship in arts and letters contributed to the development of his hallmark poetic style of painting. 

Citing influences as varied as Vincent Van Gogh, George Bellows, Max Beckmann, Andrew Wyeth, Otto Dix, Henri Matisse, Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, Pierre Bonnard, and John Singer Sargent, Kahn's work is an amalgamation of art history resulting in a distinctive technique and conceptualization wholly his own.

Possessing the clarity of the technique of Rene Magritte and the psychological and emotional depth of Salvador Dali, there is a surrealistic tinge—but only a tinge—to Kahn's fantastic style of painting.
