Description |
Oil on canvas. a young girl sitting in a ladderback chair combing hair in a mirror. The atmosphere of the room is dull and brown but in the mirror is a bright city-scape. Susan Kahn (1924-2010) studied at Parsons school of design in New York. Kahn recalls the painting "Reflections" beginning as a sketch on canvas, as the model sat down in front of the mirror to comb her hair. Most of Kahn's work has an air of spontaneity. Some of the aspects of abstraction were adopted by realistic painters like Kahn, like the freer and more expressive brushstrokes of "Reflections." |
