Madison Ave. & 7th Street
1980
This oil painting depicts an urban street scene viewed from ground level, with tall buildings flanking a narrow passage that opens onto a bright yellow structure crowned with a green roof. The composition uses strong linear perspective to draw the viewer's eye down the receding street toward a luminous blue sky, creating a sense of depth and architectural drama. Cohen employs a muted palette of browns, grays, and earth tones for the surrounding buildings, which contrast sharply with the warm yellow and cool blue elements that anchor the composition. The work exemplifies mid-twentieth-century American regionalism, reflecting the artist's engagement with the urban landscape as a subject for modernist formal exploration.
