John Koch, “The Bath,” (1973) oil on canvas Koch was a self-taught painter who began in impressionism but moved toward realism, crafting some of the loveliest (and most quintessentially New York) moments on 20th c. canvas. Like his other paintings of music lessons and cocktail parties, there’s an incredible intimacy on display in this piece. Koch lived the last several decades of his life in a large apartment overlooking Central Park, and many scenes in work came directly from his home.John Koch, “The Bath,” (1973) oil on canvas Koch was a self-taught painter who began in impressionism but moved toward realism, crafting some of the loveliest (and most quintessentially New York) moments on 20th c. canvas.
