“Half Hidden” is a landscape artwork created by Wolf Kahn in 2009, belonging to the Figurative Expressionism art movement. The artwork is titled “Half Hidden” and, true to its name, it portrays a scene where elements are partially obscured. It exemplifies the fusion of figurative and expressionist elements, characteristic of Kahn’s style.
In the artwork, a thicket of bare trees stands against a vibrant, red-hued backdrop. The trees are rendered with vertical strokes that both define their form and dissipate into the background. The ground beneath features splashes of green, subtly contrasting with the dominant red, while a muted gray sky looms overhead. Through the dense forest, structures and shapes partially emerge, enhancing the sense of mystery and depth that pervades the scene. The painting embodies an interplay of vivid color and expressive technique, creating a landscape that feels both familiar and ethereal.
