Footnotes

PROVENANCE:
With Hezi Cohen Gallery, Tel Aviv

Leo Kahn was born in Baden, Germany and studied in Karlsruhe and Holland. He spent a considerable length of time in Paris working with Andre Derain. Kahn left Europe for good before the Second World War and settled in Palestine in 1936. For many years he lived in the artists' colony in Safed. The present painting, a still life and a model in the artist's studio in Safed, is a good representation of the Arabic architecture typical to the houses in the artists' colony.
