Lot Report

Note:

Painted during the final year of Cahen’s life, this work exudes the masterful brush handling, warm palette and imagination that defined the influential Painters Eleven artist. Cahen’s use of dyes, wash and ink creates a harmonious work while dynamic shapes and sweeping lines hint at both the natural and the supernatural.
