Robert S. Bertholf

Catalog for the exhibition: Adele Cohen: A Life in the Arts, 2006, Burchfield Penney Art Center. This 150-page  book depicts the life and works of American artist Adele Cohen (1922-2002). Cohen who was born and lived in Buffalo, NY quickly created an abstract painting style that was rooted in expressionism, reflected her views on the human condition, and sought beauty in the dark side of life. Buffalo in the 1950's and 1960's was a cutting-edge cultural environment that nurtured the talents of Adele Cohen and many other artists.
