Mark Cohen first came to the attention of the photography world in 1973 with a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Rich with subtle colours of the 70s, this text is a tour through Wilkes-Barre, the Pennsylvania mining town Cohen calls home, from the vantage of this unique artist.
Technical finesse obviously doesn't matter to Mark Cohen. After leafing through the pictures again and again, I was hit by the realization that his playful, even wild, camera technique is brought on by an instant perception of something significant in his surroundings that he, in nanoseconds, decided must be recorded. That is true instinctual photography.
