==Biography==
Wolf Kahn was born in Stuttgart, Germany October 4 1927. He was the fourth child of Emil (b. November 10, 1896, d. January 25, 1985) and Nellie Budge Kahn. Kahn's father was a notable figure in the music world. He was musician, composer, conductor and teacher. In 1933, Kahn's father lost his appointment with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra when Hitler came to power and with increasing antisemitism sweeping Germany, he and his second wife left Germany with Kahn's three siblings for the United States. Wolf was sent to live with his grandmother, Anna Kahn in Frankfurt, Germany at the age of three. He states that he began drawing at the age of 4. In 1937, the summer of his eleventh birthday, his grandmother signed him up for private art lessons with Miss von Joeden. He drew every day and was inspired by military pageantry, Napoleonic Wars and prominent historical figures including Adolph Menzel and Frederick the Great. In 1939, when Kahn was twelve years old, his grandmother arranged for him to leave Germany for England to live with a host family, first with the John Wade family and then with the Purvis Family. As quotas for immigrant applications in the United States changed, Kahn was able to reunite with his family in New York city in 1940 at the age of thirteen.
Kahn met a young artist named Emily Mason in 1956. They married one year later. Mason is also a painter. She is represented by David Findlay Gallery in New York City and LewAllen Galleries in Santa Fe, NM. They have two daughters, Cecily and Melany.
