Switzerland

Miriam Cahn is a Switzerland artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art.

Swiss painter Miriam Cahn makes raw, urgent images that feel like urgent notes from inside the room. In the 1990s she painted Untitled (28.8.95), Soldier (12.8.1995), and Intelligent Dog (20.11./22.12.95) on big canvases with thick, visceral brushstrokes. Her work belongs to Neo-Expressionism, the movement that turned personal feeling into bold, unfiltered color and line. See how the dates written on the paintings become part of the image itself, as if each mark happened yesterday. Tap Soldier (12.8.1995) to feel the weight of that day.
