The migratory instinct is a powerful one. In 1955, photographer Robert Frank began a cross-country journey in search of the essence of American-ness for his project The Americans. Matthew Cohen’s large scale photograph Road Kill heeds the same call of the road, as a man standing in the foreground looks back at the long road he had just walked. Cohen's images are the most engaging in the show, sharing a quality common to all the work - an effective balance of narrative subject and photographic technique that affirms the medium's primacy at the same time as it deploys it serve the final image." ­— THE Magazine, June. 2005 -
