"Bull Fighter", oil on wood board, estate stamped on verso. A colorful painting with a Cubist style. Board measures apprx 24-1/4"T x 17"W. Born as Charles Elmer Harris in Cleveland Ohio, this largely self-taught artist changed his name in the 1960's, which translates to "Son of Ethiopia". Kosh rarely exhibited or sold his work and was affiliated with the African-American artists' "Sho-nuff Art Group" and the Karamu House and studied under Cleveland Artist Paul Travis. His style is very diverse and he experimented with Cubism, portraiture and abstractions in series. He painted mostly for his own pleasure during his lifetime as an artist and only became recognized days after his death when hundreds of his paintings were rescued from oblivion and sold to an art dealer.
