About the Item

Alfred Cohenartist, 1920-2001 Brilliant colourist famed for portraits of the stars and landscapes Although his professed heroes were Rembrandt and Picasso, the resolutely representational work of the London-based American artist Alfred Cohen owed most to French post-Impressionist masters like Bonnard, Dufy and Rouault, to the roving expressionist Oskar Kokoschka, and to artists of the Jewish diaspora, such as Marc Chagall and Chaim Soutine. Cohen was a brilliant colorist and deft draughtsman. In London from 1960, he had sellout exhibitions with the Brook Street Gallery, and later with Roland, Browse and Delbanco. Besides reworking the subjects of the commedia dell' arte , he offered vibrant oils of the Seine, the Thames and the Channel ports, and some telling portraits - his likeness of his friend, the actor Anthony Quinn, may be his masterpiece. Born in Chicago, of Latvian émigré stock, Cohen's studies at the Art Institute of Chicago were interrupted by wartime service in the US army air force, chiefly as a navigator in Pacific-based Liberator and Flying Fortress bombers. After graduating in 1949, Cohen was awarded a scholarship to travel in Europe - and never went home again, save for brief visits. In the 1950s he shared a studio with the Californian abstract expressionist artist Sam Francis in Paris, but was as likely to be found at the wheel of a Bugatti as painting. In France and Rome, he mixed with movie stars, including Ingrid Bergman, Sophia Loren and Kirk Douglas, and his patrons included James Mason, Sam Wanamaker and Stanley Baker. Painting was combined with print-making, and his hand- coloured etchings of flowers were to prove especially popular across Europe, America and Japan. Cohen's strong sense of space and design was also turned to the renovation of old houses. When converting the former schoolhouse at Wighton, near Wells-next-the-sea, into a studio, print workshop and art gallery, he found an oddly familiar marble carving in the overgrown garden. Locals remembered that a Mary Moore, from Yorkshire, had been headmistress there in the 1920s, and that her art-student brother had often chipped away at stone blocks. The unfinished sculpture was duly returned to Henry Moore. He produced witty cartoons and constructions, and seemed ready to paint or draw on any surface.

Zen Minimalist Flowers Etching American Modernist Ed Baynard Pop Art Print

By Ed Baynard

Located in Surfside, FL

ED BAYNARD (American, 1940-2016) Flowers, Flowers in a Vase, Etching. 1979/1980, Hand signed, dated l.r., Hand numbered from small edition 12/24, Dimensions: 23 by 19 in. Framed 25 by 21 in Born in Washington, D.C. in 1940. Raised in Washington, D.C. and newly graduated from high school, he flew to Europe living off and on in Paris and London. During this time, he designed costumes for Jimi Hendrix, worked as a graphic designer for the Beatles as well as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Returning to New York, he dedicated his life to art after a surprise success with his first show in 1971 at the Willard Gallery in NYC. Ed's images are Zen-like in their simplicity and grace rendered in a flat, graphic style that recalls Japanese Ukiyo-e prints. His watercolors are luminous, like the rest of his representations regardless of the medium. The Japanese inspired ukiyo-e style woodblock prints and lithograph works he created at Tyler Graphics in 1980 contain a 20th century "floating world" sensibility. Ed's wish was to bring harmony, color, and a meditative stillness to this chaotic planet. He did so in a gentle and powerful way, always as an expression of his deep gratitude for the love and beauty, friendship, and concerns he held dearest. His first solo exhibition was in 1971 at New York's legendary Willard Gallery on the recommendation of Agnes Martin. Baynard went on to have exhibitions at galleries including Betty Parsons Gallery, New York (1973); Marian Goodman Gallery, New York (1977); John Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco (1980); and Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York (1980/81).. Baynard manages to retain a simplicity of form inspired by a love of Japanese Woodblock prints. His new works reflect the same poetry of his earlier paintings, retaining his stylized compositions with their Zen like minimalism and Oriental calm, along with a new sense of rhythm and movement. Baynard uses familiar themes such as flowers, plants, pots, and vases, incorporating them into his delicate watercolor still lifes, thus creating stunning visual feasts. He was included in the 1972 Landscape exhibition at MoMA NY alone with other luminaries James Boynton, Christo, Jan Dibbets, Minnie Evans...
