Description: Harold Cohn (1908-1982), was a successful painter, printmaker and teacher working both in Detroit and New Jersey. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the country including, The Detroit Institute of Arts (1933-45), The Carnegie Institute (1941&43), The Los Angeles Museum of Art (1945), The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1934), and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (1942). During his extensive career, Cohn explored many different elements of contemporary art. These influences can be seen in many of his drawings and paintings; much of his experimentation is thought to be reminiscent of Matisse’s art work. With such a striking comparison, it is no wonder that Cohn has such an extensive auction record. “Water’s Edge” is beautifully framed original watercolor of a shore view dated from 1939, by the prolific Harold Cohn. Cohn’s sparse, but clean, expressive style is light and gestural. The colors are also very natural and are tones taken from Mother Nature’s color palette. He uses a liberal amount of water with the paint to get expansive and beautiful washes, which are meaningful and quite lovely. Cohn also uses a few sure strokes to create various dark black outlines to convey a striking, fresh waterscape. Sometimes simplicity in a painting is just as powerful as intricate details. This modern, 27” x 29” watercolor is uniquely framed in a splendid, variegated, copper colored wood frame that effectively matches browner tones in the painting. Signed and dated in the lower left hand corner, Cohn’s fantastic work is an excellent buy for those who love watercolors and nature.
