International Trophy had ever been awarded for a colour photograph was
in 1967. Presented to John Neville Cohen for his creation 'Spirit of Spring'
he was also the youngest member ever to have received it.
Reviews
& Exhibitions
A small selection, from many reviews and letters
received, after over a dozen major one-man exhibitions held in Europe
and America.
"regarded as one of Britain's most original photographers."
The Times.
"A woman's face was exquisitely metamorphosed with the cup of a
yellow tulip - a Femme - Fleur Picasso might have perpetrated had he
taken to photography."
Arts Revue.
"To Cohen the impossible in colour merely takes a
little longer."
Photography Year Book.
"I like his sense of angle."
Sir William Russell Flint
R.A.
"Very marketable as well as interesting and adventurous in
themselves with congratulations."
Cecil Beaton
C.B.E.
"To view your pictures was a reward." T. C. Grover
President The Institute of Incorporated Photographers.
"Many congratulations on the two photographs in `Colour
Photography' which I think are marvellous." Peter Sellers.
"This really is a remarkable picture.
Thank you so much. My best wishes for your forthcoming
exhibition for the Edinburgh Festival."
Lady Clementine Spencer-Churchill.
"All good wishes for a camera artist of sheer
genius." Bob Collins Editor
`Masterplots' U.S.A.
"Congratulations on the Exhibition at the Kodak Centre in
New York - I know the site and it is certainly one of the busiest points
in the world." Geoffrey Crawley Editor The British Journal of Photography.
"Re: Photo Expo at the Coliseum New York. The
entire Exposition was a tremendous success and I want to thank you once
again for making your print set available. Your photographic
work is outstanding." Frank Pallo Co-Ordinator
Photo Expo.
"Among those in which mind takes precedence over matter I
would select `Galatea in Bronze' and `Spirit of Spring' both by John N.
Cohen. The latter, in particular, must be the product of
very considerable thought and it is worthy of the highest praise."
H. A. Murch Hon.
