Patriarch II 1961

Misch Kohn's 1961 abstract artwork, "Patriarch II", is a captivating exploration of form and texture. The composition appears to be a figure, perhaps a human, rendered in stark black and white tones, giving the work an immediate sense of power and presence. The artist's use of impasto, creating a thick layer of paint, adds depth and dynamism to the surface, evoking a sense of the figure being both monumental and ethereal. This striking piece reflects Kohn's mastery of abstract expressionism, capturing the essence of human form through a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
