Untitled c. 1975

Mirit Cohen made this ‘Untitled’ drawing on paper with ink, we don't know exactly when. Looking at this piece, I can imagine her hand moving across the page, a flurry of lines and marks accumulating into a dense network. She is building a world, stroke by stroke. There is no hierarchy here: lines intersect, overlap, and create a tangled web of meaning. Each mark feels intentional, yet the overall effect is one of spontaneity. I wonder what she was thinking as she made this. It feels like a visual record of thought itself, with each stroke mapping the twists and turns of her mind. The texture of the paper seems to absorb the ink, blurring the lines and creating soft edges. It's almost as if the drawing is breathing, alive with possibility. In that sense, it reminds me of the work of Cy Twombly, who was similarly interested in the poetics of mark-making. Artists like Mirit Cohen are in ongoing dialogue with the history of art, pushing the boundaries of what drawing can be, and inviting us to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
