Scott Kahn: the rediscovery of a painter aged over 70 years old<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just been an amazing journey and very unusual. Because I\u2019m still alive,\u201d<\/em> recently declared the 76-year-old artist, who is indeed very much alive and whose trajectory has not only been far from conventional but took a spectacular turn in recent years. It\u2019s not such a surprise though, for there is no set model for an artistic career, and critical and commercial success don\u2019t necessarily come in a clear or organized manner, or even at the same time. Scott Kahn <\/strong>knows this well, he who, after almost 40 years of lukewarm critical success and modest earnings (his work sold well but for very low sums), became a star late in life. Overnight, the oeuvre of a whole career came to our attention in its exciting entirety. This kind of phenomenon is becoming more and more common in an age when, thanks to social media, artists suddenly find themselves the darlings of the art world and its capricious market. In Kahn\u2019s case, all it took was for his name to be mentioned by another artist 40 years younger than him. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s strange to discover so late in the day the importance of this compact, original and patiently constructed oeuvre \u2013 40 years of painting that suddenly wows us in all its fantasy and its resonance with today\u2019s tastes. Because taste changes, of course, and now we look at things differently. In the 1980s, when it began to crystallize, Kahn<\/strong>\u2019s figurative work had a magic-realism side to it in which the real and the fictional, the everyday and the oneiric, were combined. And although the 80s saw all sorts of painting styles come to the fore (Bad Painting, Neo-Expressionism, Free Figuration, Trans- Avant-Garde, etc.), as the exhibitions of the time demonstrate (e.g. 1981\u2019s A New Spirit in Painting <\/i>at London\u2019s Royal Academy), magic realism was ignored, and Kahn\u2019<\/strong>s work along with it. \u201cI think the main thing in art is to be uniquely yourself and not to be summed up in categories or movements,\u201d he says, philosophically. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Though he frequented Mark Rothko <\/strong>and the Abstract Expressionists, Khan produced pictures in which hieratic, almost naive figures were set in dreamlike landscapes rendered with all the maniacal detail of a Douanier Rousseau<\/strong>. His work, which also recalled Hockney<\/strong> and Magritte<\/strong>, was apparently not to the taste of the champions of this \u201creturn to painting.\u201d Now, 40 years later, at the moment of a another \u201creturn to painting\u201d that this time discriminates against no style \u2013 and also, probably, in the context of a very healthy art market that is on the lookout for novelty \u2013, his oeuvre abruptly finds itself in the limelight. We should be delighted by this turn in events, for it allows us to encounter an exciting body of work that might otherwise have passed under the radar. <\/p>\r\n\n

Kahn<\/strong> was born in 1946, in Springfield, Massachusetts, and though he earned his Bachelor of Arts at UPenn and obtained his MFA at Rutgers in the early 1970s, he considers himself an autodidact. \u201cYou could say that artists are self-taught to the extent that, whatever education they had, eventually, to find your voice, your unique voice, you have to throw up your education. I think the process for anyone, for any artist of substance, is to throw off the masters, as Alexander Brook said. The main thing I consider to be valuable about going to school, about getting an education of every sort, is that it gives you some technical skills, but ultimately I went through this project more consciously in my 20s: you have to find your unique artistic nature.\u201d<\/em> On leaving art school, he thought he had found his artistic nature in abstraction. \u201cI wasn\u2019t yet aware of the need I had to have my work reflect my life and the circumstances of my life. I went through a several-year process to learn that.\u201d<\/em> It finally came to him in the 1980s, under a figurative guise this time, at a point when he began to be convinced that an artist\u2019s oeuvre must be closely linked to their personal life, which they should document in their own way like a sort of private diary. As he explained, \u201cI consider my work to be a visual diary, a record of my life, a reporting of the places and people I encounter. It is not easy to begin a painting, despite the variety and complexity of the world. It is important to me to have a reason to paint, for the impulse to be strong. <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI consider my work a visual diary, a record of my life\u201d.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

If I do not feel compelled to work, how can I expect the viewer to respond to what I am reporting? If I am successful, hopefully, the painting will have depth, poetry, and honesty. The effect should be direct and clear. To achieve this result, a creative person calls upon every tool available to him: technical, emotional, intuitive, and intellectual. The act of creating, therefore, teaches us and reveals to us who we are and our relationship to life. This is why I paint.<\/em>\u201d Kahn\u2019s is not a literal diary though, but rather a poetic one that captures the psychological reality of a particular moment through a landscape, a portrait or an interior. His paintings are done from memory, which leaves the door open to all sorts of strange incursions from his dreams. Is this why Kahn<\/strong> so often paints the night? His oeuvre is full of fantastical nightscapes over which orange moons cast their strange glow… \u201c…Winter grips the landscape, and we watch the moonshadows out the window. No sound troubles the night. No movement breaks the stillness, all is ice and desolation,\u201d <\/em>wrote his boyfriend, the poet and playwright Frederick Kirwin, who has appeared twice in Kahn\u2019s paintings, once in 1987 and again in 2015. <\/p>\r\n\n

 <\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\u201cI paint in the master bedroom of an old 1905 house,\u201d<\/em> says Kahn of his home in New Rochelle in the northern suburbs of New York City. Given New Rochelle\u2019s sea front and 100 hectares of parks and gardens, it\u2019s tempting to see in it the source of many of his pictures, which include seascapes and parks with well-regimented groups of trees. He paints his largest canvases in his Brooklyn studio, and regularly exhibited in New York City \u2013 for 25 years he was represented by Katharina Rich Perlow, who put on solo shows for him and sold his work for prices that have nothing to do with his value today. As is so often the case, social media completely changed the pub- lic\u2019s appreciation of his work. A few years ago, on Facebook, he began corresponding with a young painter, Matthew Wong<\/strong>, who in a 2018 inter- view quoted Kahn as one of his influences, alongside Van <\/a>Gogh<\/strong>, Alex Katz<\/strong> and Yayoi Kusama<\/a>. Wong later acquired Kahn\u2019s Cul-de-Sac <\/i>(2017), and posted it on Instagram. \u201cIt set off an avalanche of people going over to my feed and people started streaming through my studio door in Dumbo,\u201d <\/em>recalls Kahn. \u201cBig collectors, galleries, other artists. It was non-stop, and it hasn\u2019t abated to this day.\u201d<\/em> In July 2021, Almine Rech announced that she was henceforth representing Kahn worldwide, and put on a Kahn exhibition at her Paris space in avenue Matignon barely four months later. Two weeks after the show opened, his canvas Cadman Plaza <\/i>(2002) went under the hammer at Phillips Hong Kong, pulverizing the $130,000 estimate when it fetched just under $1 million, while on 26 May 2022, at Christie\u2019s Hong Kong, Big House, Homage to America <\/i>(2012) sold for $1.4 million. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kahn<\/strong> takes his change in fortune philosophically. \u201cYou hope you don\u2019t die in a studio full of paintings. I\u2019m lucky because now they\u2019re out in the world.\u201d <\/em>He also wonders, with a hint of irony, what will happen to those he sold over the course of his long career. \u201cMany of these collectors are now much older, as I\u2019m older, and maybe they\u2019re downsizing or their children have left their homes and they\u2019re retiring. It wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they auctioned the paintings they bought 20, 30 years ago.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n
