effects.

"Indeed,
since the photographic image is made by the action
of light, truth to light is truth to the medium of
photography! All John Cohen's photographs are made,
simply and solely, by the use of light. His magic is
the magic of the luminous, his poetry is that of the
chiaroscuro. The attractions of his work is all the
greater for the purity of the photographic
technique, and its appeal all the more universal for
being couched in an imagery common to all men and
intelligible to all." Sir
George F. Pollock Bt.,
M.A., F.R.P.S., F.R.S.A. (Past
President of The Royal Photographic Society).
