Bernard A. Kohn, Verticals in Space

Fascinated by the interrelationship of different art forms, Bernard Kohn sought inspiration for his work in dance, music, and poetry. In these two engravings, he creates a "dance” between rigid rectilinear shapes and organic, sensuous lines. He uses a variety of line thicknesses -some long, some staccato -in an orchestration of fragmented, mysterious images. In addition to being a dedicated visual artist, Kohn was also a music publisher.
