{"title":"Louis Kahan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn into a family of master tailors in Vienna in 1905, Louis Kahan was drawn to art from an early age. He began as a child by sketching portraits of his father's clients, who included famous actors and musicians of the time. He obtained his masters diploma in tailoring as a young man and his life long fascination with the human form and the subject of creative people at work can be traced to this first trade. The discipline which the craft instilled in him also stayed with him, as did the typically Viennese love of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKahan settled in Melbourne with his young family and established himself as a portrait artist.
