Leo Kahn (painter)

He served in the German army in 1914, then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe between 1919-1920 under the tutelage of Albert Hueinsen.

Kahn travelled to Berlin (where he met and befriended Max Liebermann), Holland, and France in search of artistic inspiration.

[1] Kahn exhibited in Karlsruhe, Munich, Ulm, Zurich, and Paris.

In 1928, Kahn lived in the south of France where he befriended the important Fauve artist André Derain.

He is primarily remembered as a landscape, still life and portrait artist, and the influence of Paul Cézanne is deeply felt in his work.
