Second Image for J

Bernard Cohen’s 1976 work, Second Image for J, exemplifies his mastery within the Abstract art movement, specifically drawing from principles of Lyrical abstraction. Cohen’s style is characterized by expressive, dynamic compositions that emphasize color, form, and movement without direct representation. Executed with confident brushwork and a vibrant palette, the piece reflects a meditative exploration of visual rhythm and emotional depth. The title, Second Image for J, suggests a continuation or iteration within a series, inviting contemplation of relationships between images and their evolving meanings in Cohen’s abstract oeuvre.
