LOOK UP TO THE MOON - JOHN COHEN LEINEN

In the summer of 1955 a relatively naive and uninformed John Cohen crossed the straits of
Gibraltar. He arrived in Tangier with a handwritten note in cursive Arabic  the man who had
composed it in New York had told him to keep this paper far from your passport. Cohen had no
idea why or indeed what the note said  it was not addressed to a specific person. He was simply
instructed to look for a certain man when he arrived  who would then send him to the others.
Cohen's otherwise straightforward trip to make photographs in Morocco thus began with a sense
of intrigue and perhaps risk.This was Cohen's first journey outside America to see the world.
In his words: The camera led my way to a distant culture  along with the desire to represent
what I could see and sense there  and not be distracted by chronology or thought. My
photographs were intended to be a sensual response to light and to the people who inhabited
these spaces. These Morocco photos were ... an indication of what was to come.
