Cohen maintained that the physical act of painting was of paramount importance. His consistent experimentation and development of procedures arising from a concern with “process” is the underlying link uniting his work from the 1960s. 'Style 1' is typical of the output from this period with intertwining and meandering lines formed over individual “panels” creating a composition that is both balanced and challenging.
