Erika Fluss Kahn 'Erika Kahn': A California painter and printmaker,
Erika Kahn experienced the barbarity of the Nazi regime in her youth. Born
and raised in Berlin she was banned from her public school at the age of
ten and sent to the Theodore Herzl School, an all-Jewish institution. Three
years later (1938) she witnessed the destruction of both her synagogue
and school. Erika Kahn and her parents managed to escape to New York shortly
thereafter. Her grandparents, however, were incarcerated and eventually
perished in Auschwitz in 1942. |
| |
Erika Kahn first exhibited her fine art in 1967 at the University
of California, Los Angeles. Since that time her original prints have been
included in exhibitions in New York, Houston, San Francisco, Philadelphia,
Honolulu, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara. She has participated in international
exhibitions in Osaka, Japan, Jerusalem, Israel, and San Miguel de Allende,
Mexico. She has also served as an art instructor at both Santa Monica College
and the Laguna School of Art and Design. |

Today the art of Erika Kahn is included in the following
public collections; Portland Museum of Art, Long Beach Museum of Art, Monterey
Museum of Art, University of Michigan and the Hawaii State Foundation of
Culture & Art. |

printmaking. Designed as a diptych, it covers two large sheets of archival

has employed extensive blind printing to create forms and patterns
in relation to the beautiful landscape imagery. |
