Monumental Ann Cooper, Just Making Way for Progress, oil on gallery-wrapped canvas and shaped wood
Est: $700 - $1,000
Ann Cooper American/Louisiana, 1935-2005 "Just Making Way for Progress" oil on gallery-wrapped canvas and shaped wood signed lower right, titled upper center, unframed. Note: Ann T. Cooper's signature compositions translate the natural world into flat, dynamic shapes with the crispness of Henri Matisse's later cut paper works and a fluid stylization descended from the early potters of Tulane University's Newcomb College, where she earned her BFA. Adept at alternating painting and printmaking traditions in oil-based paintings, watercolor, silkscreen, serigraph, and mixed media works, she combined processes of both in "Just Making Way for Progress". A significant departure from her modernist floral and landscape works, this tableau was reputedly created for an Art Against AIDS fundraiser in the late 1980s. Here, stenciled symbols and words are brushy (yet still flat) on the inside and crisp at their edges. Eight vultures gaze at and away from the central portal where an explosion of skyscrapers propels a pointy hazard pole into flight. Anthropomorphic pink flames with gray tops alternately appear as peeling veneer in this dynamic scene. It appears that these broken buildings will be swept away to make space for the new. Are they self-referential, like the fractured column representing Frida Kahlo's broken back in "The Broken Column" (1944) to imply how the backbone of the city is connected to its well-being of its constituents? Or are the buildings the constituents themselves, ourselves? Cooper's exhibition history includes over forty solo shows; her work resides in multiple private, corporate, and intuitional collections, including the New Orleans Museum of Art and Tarble Museum of Art at Eastern Illinois University, and she is recognized in the Johnson Collection's Directory of Southern Women Artists.
