In the 1930s, when she was still in her early twenties, Suzanne Cooper was one of the rising stars of British art. Her work has been overlooked for decades, but following a number of exhibitions in 2018 this forgotten figure of British Modernism is receiving the recognition due to her.
In 1935, when she was nineteen years old, she became a student at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, where she was taught by the master print-makers Iain Macnab and Cyril Power. Over the next four years she exhibited her oil-paintings and wood-engravings to great acclaim in the press. Sadly her career was cut short by the outbreak of World War II. The Grosvenor School closed in 1939. She married Michael Franklin in 1940, had three children, and produced no more large-scale paintings, though continuinued to work in pastels and chalk. She died in 1992.
This is a giclée print printed on 300gsm Xpression textured archival paper. Paper size 30 × 40 cm - fits a standard frame.
