Confined in the 1960s he began painting as a form of mental release. Much of his output is in a sombre narrow palette and reflected his early harsh life experiences. In 1972 he had his first show in Bath, he received the Arthur Koestler Award for Prisoner Art and in 1973 he was chosen by The Dylan Thomas Society to paint a portrait of the poet for presentation to US President Jimmy Carter.

Wacher of Canterbury Thence by family descent to the present owner. We are grateful to Kenneth J. Westwood in helping with the cataloguing of this lot. Thomas Sidney Cooper was an English painter noted for his fine detailed images of cattle and sheep in extensive pastoral landscapes. He was born at Canterbury in Kent and from a small child showed strong artistic inclinations. At the age of twelve he was working in the shop of a coach painter and later on in his youth he worked as a scene painter. He left for London and drew extensively in the British Museum, then entering the Royal Academy Schools. He returned to Canterbury and took up teaching as a drawing master. In 1827 he settled in Brussels and married. It was here that he met the celebrated animal painter Eugene Joseph Verboeckhoven who had a large influence on his work. He left Brussels at the start of the revolution returning to London and exhibited his first painting at the R.A. in 1833. He went on to paint numerous works largely on the same theme his 266 R.A. exhibits shown without a break till 1902. After about 1870 his commissions were constant and very lucrative making him a wealthy man and in consequence a generous benefactor to the city of Canterbury.
