Group of 4 color screenprints.

Harlem River * On the Beach * Night Scene * The Bay. Each signed in black ink, lower right. Very good impressions. Various sizes and conditions.

Born in London, Cohn (1903-1998) moved to New York with his family as a child. His first job, at the age of 17, involved work in a New York screenprinting workshop. During the late 1930's, he worked in the Easel Project of the WPA. Though he is best remembered for his early screenprints, later on, in the 1950s, Cohn ran his own commercial art studio where he taught Andy Warhol, among others, the screenprinting technique.
