Suzanne Cooper

Suzanne Cooper (1916-1992) was a British Modernist[1] painter and wood-engraver. Her 1936 oil painting "Royal Albion," at the Auckland Art Gallery (NZ), is noted for the "artist's use of simplified blocks of form and colour."[2] She grew up in Frinton-on-Sea and studied at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London.[3] Between 1935 and 1939,[4] she exhibited her oil-paintings and wood-engravings at the Redfern Gallery, the Zwemmer Gallery, the Wertheim Gallery and the Stafford Gallery, and with the National Society of Painters, Sculptors & Print-Makers and the Society of Women Artists. The influential collector Lucy Wertheim, in addition to exhibiting her work, bought two of Cooper's oil paintings.[5]

gollark: "Debate" mostly isn't actual meaningful debate but just showing how virtuous you are for showing how terrible the Other Side is.
gollark: It's much more about tribal signalling than actual policy and doing useful things.
gollark: You can't actually do anything significant to them in most cases, and they monopolize vast amounts of people's attention and communication bandwidth.
gollark: Large-scale politics is *basically* (EDIT: mostly) a horrible infohazard pushed by organizations trying to maximize your engagement (which is often done by generating outrage at the Other Side) and the politicians trying to get you to use your small and indirected power to benefit them.
gollark: NOT ignoring them doesn't work well either.
