Mexico Scenes Drawings Harry Cohen, Marfil & Nolde

Price:	$2000	Expires:	31 days

Original unframed Pen & Ink sketches on artist paper (11x8”)by California artist Harry Cohen during his 1960s visits to Marfil and with Karl Nolde.

The information in the following paragraphs relates only to Karl Nolde, Harry's friend. Harry was a frequent visitor to Marfil. The youtube reference below is included to give an excellent example of the character of two aging artists collaborating. Harry speaks highly of Karl and their friendship - I suggest the video presentation shows Harry's character.

Karl, born in Leipzig in 1902 attended art school on Leipzig, was a member of ASSO and spent three years in prison in 1933 for his expressed political views. He left Germany, never to return, and traveled to Czechoslovaki, Sweden, England and the United States (entry at New York suggested by a brother) before settling in Mexico in 1959. His works were exhibited and collected in Chicago and Los Angeles as he moved across the United States. He lived in Topango Canyon and shared artist friendships with Gordon Wagner (1915-1987) and Harry Cohen (80s). His years (1959 - 1994) in Mexico often included return visits to Los Angeles where his works were exhibited in the Silvan Simone Gallery.

He maintained his German Expressionistic use of color,form and line as he recorded scenes from everyday life in Mexico, portraits of friends and family and the landscapes of Guanajuato. These landscape paintings are a brilliant and unmistakable record of the majestic mountains and the brilliant skies where Karl used the medium of colored crayon, signing the name Kanol and titling the paintings in English.

Karl's paintings and drawings are often unsigned, untitled and undated. His style could be considered primitive, or labeled outsider art in the 21st century for he often painted or sketched on any paper material available. His passion was to paint. He signed the name Kanol for numerous works completed in Mexico in an effort to separate himself from another recognized German Expressionist painter, Emil Nolde.

Current research is being conducted with the artist's wife and son in Guanajuato, Mexico.
