"True Color" features photographs shot in the late 1970’s, printed recently as color dye transfers and shown here for the first time in New York. Mark Cohen is part of the generation of street photographers that includes Robert Frank, William Klein, and Lee Friedlander although Cohen photographed exclusively in and around his hometown Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. This work is distinguished by Cohen’s distinctive close up style, with its graphic boldness, and by his seemingly deep regard for his neighbors and their children. The deeply saturated colors in this work have the feel of 1970’s yet seem contemporary.
