Brightlingsea - wood engraving by Suzanne Cooper 1937

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]

Henry "Busdriver" Stockley was an English primitive artist. Once called "the greatest inspired painter since William Blake", Henry Stockley was arguably the most important primitive artists active in the period 1930 to 1960. Alan Clutton-Brock, art critic of The Times, was particularly impressed by his handling of figures and his ability "to give its proper atmosphere to a landscape and keep a number of curious and unexpected colours in harmony with each other". Stockley's work suffered years of neglect partially reversed with the publication of a number of articles on his life and artistic production and with a major exhibition devoted to his life and art at the London Transport Museum. The location is significant. Although trained as a meat inspector, for many years Henry Stockley was a bus driver.
