Alfred E. Cooper RBA ARCA Oil Chrysanthemums
We are offering for sale this stunning still life Oil on Canvas by the artist Alfred Egerton Cooper RBA ARCA, who has signed the painting with his monogram AEC in the lower right hand corner, as shown. The painting depicts a glass vase of chrysanthemums in autumnal hues, placed on a table top in front of some drapes. The flowers have been executed in the impasto technique.
Alfred Egerton Cooper 1883-1974, was born on 5th July 1883 at Tettenhall in Staffordshire. He was educated at Durham School and studied at Bilston College of Art and at the Royal College of Art in London, where he received his Diploma in 1911. After entering a competition, where John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was one of the judges, and voted for the yong artist, he was invited by John Singer Sargent to become his assistant at his Tite Street, Chelsea studio, where A. E. Cooper worked for about a year, painting backgrounds and details in the Master's paintings.
During WWI, he served with the Artists' Rifles where, unfortunately, the sight of one his eyes was impaired by chlorine gas. At the end of the war, he was made artist to the Royal Air Force, where he became expert in the art of large scale aerial camouflage and sketching and painting landscapes for the air. Some of his related work in is the Imperial War Museum and the Royal Air Force Museum.
He painted portraits, figure subjects and some landscapes, and became a celebrated portraitist, and painted many notable people, including the Dukes of Kent and Connaught. In 1940, he painted King George VI and in 1943, painted one of several portraits of Sir Winston Churchill, which was donated to the Carlton Club, and was reproduced in large numbers as a poster entitled 'Profile for Victory'. Unusually Sir Winston actually liked all the portraits of himself that were painted by this artist.
In 1954, he painted a large canvas of the Queen and the Queen Mother at the Balaclava Centennial Ball, which he painted, while in evening dress, at the event.
The record price achieved for one of his flower paintings is £1340.
He lived in Chelsea for many years and died on 11th May 1974.
He exhibited at the Royal Academy (22 paintings), Royal Society of British Artists (110), Royal Society of Portrait Painters (10 Glasgow Institute 2), Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool (6), Fine Art Society (6), Royal Oil Painters Institute (3), New English Art Club (5) and many other London Galleries. He received an Honourable Mention at the Paris Salon in 1924. He was elected Associate Member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1921 and a full Member in 1923.
