Suzanne Cooper


Suzanne Cooper was a British Modernist painter and wood-engraver.

Work and life

Her 1936 oil painting "Royal Albion," at the Auckland Art Gallery, is noted for the "artist's use of simplified blocks of form and colour."
She grew up in Frinton-on-Sea and studied at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London. Between 1935 and 1939, 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.

In collections

The influential collector Lucy Wertheim, in addition to exhibiting her work, bought two of Cooper's oil paintings.
