Requiem 1963

Misch Kohn's 1963 lithograph, "Requiem," is a captivating example of abstract expressionism, characterized by its layered and textured surface. The artwork utilizes a technique of layering and obscuring text, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The use of black ink against a beige background provides a striking contrast, highlighting the overlapping and obscured text, likely referencing philosophical and historical figures. This work invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between knowledge, memory, and the passage of time.
