A D M Cooper 1912 California Lake Scene w Heron. Astley David Middleton Cooper (American 1856-1924). Signed and dated oil. Provenance: Dr. Arnold Werschky. At the age of 24, Cooper arrived in San Francisco, where he assumed the pose of a Bohemian artist on the city's Barbary Coast. Local legend has it that Cooper paid many a bar tab with one of his paintings. It was a rare drinking establishment from San Francisco to Santa Cruz that didn't have a Cooper nude hanging from its walls. At least one local bar, the Louvre, was said to have dozens of Cooper's paintings on display. Using broad brush strokes and dark backgrounds, Cooper often imparted somber moods to his paintings, even to the point of being macabre. Unlike the tonalists, however, he infused his works with action and drama, and an underlying political commentary. For Cooper, Indians and buffaloes were symbols of a great American tragedy. Throughout his life, he portrayed their passing as paradise lost. Overall Size: 13 1/2 x 20 3/4 in. Sight Size: 8 3/4 x 15 3/4 in.
