Learning To See

by Peggy Gale

Norman Cohn : Portraits, 1984, pp. 8-13

Toronto: Art Gallery of Ontario, 1984

Peggy Gale discusses Cohn’s work by giving an overview of the history of moving images, the differences between video art and television media, the way editing effects the dissemination of meaning. Lastly, she distinguishes between Cohn’s work and the conventional documentary genre, and elicits the success of Cohn’s work in its use of a non-verbal narrative aesthetic.
