Throughout the 1940s, Cohn continued to produce his fine screenprints. To introduce his methods to other artists, he co-authored a book in 1942 with J. I. Beigeleisen titled Silk Screen Stenciling as a Fine Art. Looking back on this important time in his career, Cohn said: "With the usual method of silkscreen, the colors come on very heavy. I tried to make the silkscreen more or less imitate the quality of a watercolor in its transparency." In the 1950s, Cohn owned a graphic arts business in Manhattan where he demonstrated and helped a young Andy Warhol do his first silkscreen prints.
