“Harry Cohen is as he paints – joyful, exuberant, buoyant, colorful, and bright. His studio is a work of art packed with canvases, colors, mobiles and stabiles. At age 94, Harry bounds around his studio without letting the spring in his step deflect the brushstroke he intends.”   – Skip Henderson

Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1924, Cohen described himself as a ghetto kid who served in the army during World War II.
Art, for Harry, was always a love affair. He explored galleries and museums, read Walter Poyton and lives of artists. He gave his heart, soul and life to art because he felt it to be a high and noble quest.
Until his recent passing, just shy of 95, Cohen produced his works from his home studio, surrounded by redwoods in Woodacre, CA. Harry Cohen showed that dreams have no age and to never compromise your passion.

PAINTINGS ON PAPER (POPS)

“The continuity of romantic painting seems to have been lost today – The continuity that flowed from Delacroix through Daumier through Matisse and on to deKooning is missing. I feel I am part of that continuity, but I don’t know where the thread has gone.”    H.C.
