Max Arthur Cohn

Max Arthur Cohn (1903–1998) was an English-born American artist. His family immigrated to the United States when he was two years old.

Cohn was one of the artists employed by the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression, painting for the Easel Project and the Public Works of Art Project. At this period he took up silk screening, a technique he had learned in a commercial art studio in 1920. In 1940, Cohn, Anthony Velonis, Hyman Warsager and other artists co-founded the National Serigraph Society. Provided by Wikipedia
