George Cohen

George Marshall Cohen was an American painter and art professor. He was a member of the Chicago-based Monster Roster group of artists and taught art at Northwestern University. Cohen worked in oils and mixed media. A Northwestern University faculty profile describes Cohen as "a surrealist" who "combines the metaphysical with the sensuous to express new realities of space, time, and the human figure". Cohen was a founding member of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. George Cohen became known in the forties and fifties for his paintings and board constructions with objects and mirrors affixed to them. He is considered a major influence on and harbinger of the Chicago Imagists, as well as an important contributor nationally to developments in painting in the fifties and sixties.
