British Artist Bernard Cohen, Signed/N Lithograph, 1965, Framed. Superb Provenance
Bernard CohenSOLD
Framed.
In the mid 1970s Cohen exchanged his earlier preferences for broad expanses of flat colour, spontaneously applied paint and soft focus, for a meticulous technique and a dense layering of patterns and motifs. In these paintings, which swarm vertiginously with textures, colours, stencilled and drawn shapes, Cohen found a way of relating his obsession with the procedures of painting to a range of social rituals, producing an art as complex in formal terms as in its metaphorical implications.
This rare work has not been examined outside of its original mid century frame, to preserve provenance, but there is some overall age toning, especially around the edges. (see photograph #2;. First image is stock.) Otherwise a good, strong impression with superb provenance.
Winning bidder will be delighted.
Congratulations on acquiring this rare piece!
