This monumental work by Harold Cohen, painted in 1964, marks the peak of his artistic prowess. Within the next few years, Cohen gained international acclaim, held a famous solo retrospective at Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1965, and represented the UK at the 33rd Venice Biennale in 1966. His work from this period, described by critic Andrew Forge as "painting… about the meaning of painting," embodies the "paradoxes" of fluctuating texture and fragmentary line. In 1967, critic Gene Baro praised Cohen's pieces for their "overallness" and "unitary impact." The recent re-discovery of Cohen and his AI painting exhibition at the Whitney in New York has revived his recognition. This painting is a decisive piece from a pivotal figure in Britain’s 1960s art renaissance.
