About the Item
A modernist figurative oil painting on canvas titled “Stillness in the Nude” by Harold Cohn. Signed and dated 1941 on the lower right as well as verso. This evocative painting by Harold Cohn captures a solitary female figure rendered in a raw, expressive style that blends elements of modernism and early brutalism. Executed in a somber, monochromatic palette with rich earth tones and stark highlights, the work emphasizes the physical and emotional stillness of the subject. The figure’s downward gaze and gentle posture suggest introspection, vulnerability, and quiet strength. Thick, gestural brushwork and rough texture add a sculptural dimensionality, making the nude appear carved from shadow and light. Cohn’s work here reflects both the psychological intensity and aesthetic experimentation of 20th-century figurative art.
Provenance: Collection of Bloomfield Fine Arts Gallery, formally in Birmingham, Michigan. Dimensions: 46.25”h x 30.25”w x 1.25”d (framed). In good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
Harold Cohn (1908–1982) was an American modernist painter and lithographer based in Detroit, Michigan. He began exhibiting his work in the early 1930s, developing a style influenced by Cubism and artists like Henri Matisse. Cohn's paintings often featured bold color palettes and simplified forms, reflecting his interest in modernist aesthetics. Wolfs Gallery Throughout his career, Cohn's work was showcased in prominent institutions, including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Carnegie Institute, the Los Angeles Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. His contributions to American modernism have been recognized through these exhibitions, solidifying his reputation in the art community. Cohn's artworks continue to be appreciated for their vibrant expression and are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of mid-20th-century American art.
