About the Item

A modernist figurative line drawing on paper titled “Beauty in the Simplicity” by Harold Cohn. Signed and dated 1955 on the lower right. Using a minimalist yet expressive ink line, Cohn emphasizes elegance over excess, defining the figure’s gentle posture, delicate hands, and flowing gown with rhythmic curves and spirals.

With influences from the School of Paris and modernist masters like Matisse, Cohn balances spontaneity and structure to evoke a timeless elegance.
