Bump's stables, located in Guilford, Vermont, were close-by to Kahn's (1927-2020) farm in West Brattleboro, where he and his family began to summer in 1968. Kahn's paintings of hillsides, meadows, barns, and southern Vermont's environs were emblematic of the Kahn's New England color field paintings of this period.
