Pond and Hill
1990
This landscape painting depicts a serene pond nestled in a valley, rendered in soft, atmospheric layers of color. The composition is organized horizontally, with a luminous yellow green foreground representing the surrounding terrain, a pale blue white body of water in the middle ground, and rolling hills rendered in deep green and purple tones receding into the distance. The sky above transitions from warm peachy gray tones to cool blues, suggesting either dawn or dusk. Kahn's characteristic use of bold, simplified color fields and loose brushwork creates a contemplative mood while capturing the essential character of the landscape.
