He was born in Pilsley, a small coalmining village in north-east Derbyshire, on the 12 December 1938, the fourth of five children of a butcher. An intelligent and creative child, he passed the 11+ and attended Tupton Hall Grammar School. Cooper was first introduced to clay at school and although immediately responding to the material he did not believe he could make a living as a potter and subsequently decided to train as a schoolteacher. After completing his national service in the RAF, Cooper attended Dudley Teacher Training College (1958–60) specialising in art and drama and followed that up with an additional year at Bournemouth College of Art (1960–61). Cooper was then appointed art teacher at Downs Lane Central School in Tottenham (1961-63) the only full-time teaching job of his career although he subsequently went on to teach ceramics part-time at Harrow School (1963-65) and at the Central Foundation School for Girls, Spitalfields (1965-70). In 1963, after much soul searching, he made the decision to give up full-time teaching and try to find work as a potter. He was taken on as an assistant by Gwyn Hanssen, and later worked for Bryan Newman before setting up his own pottery at 226 Westbourne Grove in 1965. Cooper was always driven by a strong imperative to make tableware "accepting the Leachian/Morris idea that it carried a sort of virtue" and for many years it was his chief form of production. However, the design of his tableware was inspired by northern European design models - with all the forms based on the cylinder and he developed a series of glazes – white, pale blues and a pale yellow - that were both sophisticated and contemporary. It was hugely successful, and he was subsequently asked to design and make tableware for a number of London restaurants, most notably the Hard Rock Café, Maxwells and Drakes. As a city potter with only a small basement workshop Cooper spent almost two decades researching into electric kiln firing in an attempt to create what he later referred to as an "electric kiln aesthetic". The research resulted in four best-selling books, which gave Cooper "legendary status" as a glaze technician. It was a mark of his importance in this field that he was later invited by the V&A to produce the glaze tests that formed part of their permanent displays devoted to ceramic process. Cooper stopped making tableware in the mid 1980s when tastes and fashion changed but the resonance of function was apparent in the stoneware and porcelain bowl and jug forms which made up the majority of his gallery pots and for which is he now best known. These pots were informed and influenced by the built environment. Cooper was fascinated by the textures and tempos of the metropolis, the volcanic surfaces of his stoneware bowls and jugs inspired by the concrete and grit of the pavements while his porcelain bowls with their vivid venetian reds, emerald green or glorious yellow pay homage to the neon lights and traffic of the nighttime city. 3 While making pots was always at the heart of Cooper’s creative life he sought other outlets for his talents and interests. A member of the Craft Potters Association (CPA) from early in his career, he served for many years as a council member, chair, and eventually a fellow. In 1969 he suggested to the CPA that they should publish a magazine and the following year Ceramic Review was launched. Initially, co- edited with Eileen Lewenstein, but later as sole editor, Cooper guided the magazine from humble beginnings to become one of the world's leading craft journals. Emmanuel Cooper’s books on ceramics ranged from his early how-to-do-it manuals to histories of ceramics and glaze recipes through to biographical studies of leading potters. His full-length biographies of Bernard Leach and Lucie Rie - this last completed only weeks before his death - are now considered definitive texts. Alongside all this artistic activity Emmanuel Cooper was politically active, especially in the struggle for LGBTQ rights. Sexual and gender politics were always among his dominant concerns and he was a founder members of the Gay Left collective and of the Gay History group. He was for many years art critic of the Morning Star, Gay News and Tribune and wrote thousands of pieces of art journalism. He wrote a series of monographs for the Gay Men’s Press (GMP) and later published two books on the male nude, Fully Exposed: The Male Nude in Photography and Male Bodies. His groundbreaking book on homosexuality and art, The Sexual Perspective was published in 1986. From his childhood, Emmanuel Cooper had a fascination with folk art and in his book and supporting exhibition The People’s Art (1994) he celebrated creativity that was untrained, unknown, and very largely unacknowledged. In the years since his death in January 2012, interest in Cooper and in particular in his ceramics has increased significantly, with the V&A, the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge; the York Centre for Ceramic Art; and the Hepworth acquiring pots by Cooper for their permanent collections. In 2019 Making Emmanuel Cooper – an account of his life and work, edited by his longtime partner, David Horbury, and based on Cooper’s unpublished writings, diaries, correspondence and interviews was published by Unicorn Publishing.

  • OBITUARY: Sum of His Parts: John Coplans (1920-‐2003
    OBITUARY: Sum of His Parts: John Coplans (1920-2003) ARTFORUM, Jan 2004 http://www.mutualart.com/OpenArticle/Sum-of-His-Parts--John-Coplans--1920- 200/6576ED6A4646BBD5 An obituary for John Coplans, an international photographer who died in Aug 2003 at the age of 83 is presented. Among other things, Coplans became an internationally successful photographer oVer the last two decades by focusing his lens on his intensely personal yet oddly alien terra incognita. To readers under a certain age (say, thirty-five), the name John Coplans probably conjures pictures of a hairy, schlumpy, climacteric bag of flesh. Turning his body into a liVing landscape tableau, Coplans became an internationally successful photographer oVer the last two decades by focusing his lens on this intensely personal yet oddly alien terra incognita. Photography was in fact the third full career Coplans, who died last August at age eighty-three, enjoyed. In his lifetime, the Britishborn, South African-raised figure neVer followed the straight trajectory. If it is rare to find an indiVidual who flourishes in a new milieu when most are tidying up the achieVements of a lifelong pursuit, "lateness" is hardly a conceit foreign to Coplans`s biography. Indeed, his record is inflected both by the notion of belatedness and by its antonymic partner, prescience. As a curator at the Pasadena Art Museum in the mid-`6os, Coplans was among the earliest champions of Pop art and a Vociferously sympathetic critic of the work of Roy Lichtenstein and especially Andy Warhol. (He organized a surVey of Pop as early as 1:963 and later was responsible for retrospectiVes of Lichtenstein and Warhol as well as the 1968 "Serial Imagery" exhibition.) But despite his reputation as a curator ahead of the curVe, Coplans largely abandoned museum work until 1978, when he became director of the Akron Art Museum.

To appropriate something means to make it proper, to make it one’s own and thus to integrate it, to incorporate it, thereby giving it a new life. Because it becomes one’s property, one imparts it with one’s own being: what one knows, what one hates, what one likes, what one chooses, is. Then the appropriated is cut off from its former self and becomes other, transformed, re-created.1 Stanley Spencer constantly appropriated sacred texts (revealing the impossibility for him to cut off old links, to achieve a “rupture”) and incorporated them in his own world imposing distortions and other unusual plastic treatments to the forms, thereby shocking his contemporaries.

  • Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 Ó Copyright by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 by Joanna Marie Fiduccia Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor George Thomas Baker, Chair This dissertation presents the first extended analysis of Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture between 1935 and 1945. In 1935, Giacometti renounced his abstract Surrealist objects and began producing portrait busts and miniature figures, many no larger than an almond. Although they are conventionally dismissed as symptoms of a personal crisis, these works unfold a series of significant interventions into the conventions of figurative sculpture whose consequences persisted in Giacometti’s iconic postwar work. Those interventions — disrupting the harmonious relationship of surface to interior, the stable scale relations between the work and its viewer, and the unity and integrity of the sculptural body — developed from Giacometti’s Surrealist experiments in which the production of a form paradoxically entailed its aggressive unmaking. By thus bridging Giacometti’s pre- and postwar oeuvres, this decade-long interval merges two ii distinct accounts of twentieth-century sculpture, each of which claims its own version of Giacometti: a Surrealist artist probing sculpture’s ambivalent relationship to the everyday object, and an Existentialist sculptor invested in phenomenological experience. This project theorizes Giacometti’s artistic crisis as the collision of these two models, concentrated in his modest portrait busts and tiny figures.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • Berkshire to Beijing Stanley Spencer, That Most English and Eccentric of Painters, Visited Chinal Just Before the Cultural Revolution
    guardian.co.uk Berkshire to Beijing Stanley Spencer, that most English and eccentric of painters, visited Chinal just before the Cultural Revolution. Patrick Wright on a trip that mixed high art with low comedy and personal tragedy Patrick Wright The Guardian, Saturday 17 March 2001 He is one of the most original and accomplished painters of the 20th century, and yet he is also synonymous with a peculiarly English eccentricity. He is the artist who treated Cookham, the little Thameside village where he lived, as the measure of all experience. He is the prophet of divine sexuality who, at the second post, fell humiliated victim to a fortune-seeking lesbian. When Timothy Hyman and I set out to curate Tate Britain's new exhibition of Stanley Spencer's work, we realised that we would have to fight our way through the bizarre collection of fragmentary anecdotes that now shape his memory. Many concern Spencer's chaotic sex life, but the one that I found most enigmatic was different. It is recorded, in various memoirs, that in the autumn of 1954, this most English of painters left his home in Berkshire to visit Beijing, where he would inform Chou En-lai, the communist premier, that "I feel at home in China because I feel that Cookham is somewhere near, only just around the corner". The very idea of Spencer in China seems inherently unlikely. Indeed, it has been suggested that he was almost certainly invited by accident, after the authorities got him muddled up with the then radical poet, Stephen Spender.
