Gerald A. Cooper,British 1898-1975-Still life of summer flowers in a glass vase - hollyhocks, roses, and nasturtians;oil on board, signed 'Gerald Cooper' (lower right), 60.5 x 50.6 cm. ARR.Provenance: Private Collection, UK.Note: The present work, as in much of Cooper’s output, is clearly drawing on the works of 17th-century Dutch artists such as Ambrosius Bosschaert II (1609-1645). Such an approach is evident both in its composition, with the bright and bountiful flowers set against a dark background, and in its execution, with the detail of Cooper’s fine brushwork imparting the painting with a striking verisimilitude. Cooper’s choice of flowers, which can be found in an English country garden, evokes a sense of domesticity which contrasts with the works of his Dutch antecedents, which typically centred on the depiction of fantastical combinations of expensive and exotic blooms.
