Frank Cowper |
 |
| Born: 1877 - Died: 1958. |
| Cowper was born in Northamptonshire. Mr. Frank Cadogen Cowper has died at the age of 81.
Cowper was born at Wicken Rectory, Northamptonshire on the 16th October 1877. His father was Frank Cowper, author of several books of romantic tales.
For 6 months he worked in the studio of Sir Edwin Abbey RA. His first picture was hung at the Royal Academy, when he was 22, and thereafter he was a regular contributor there, and, as also at the Paris Salon, Rome and Venice. He was made an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1907 and became a member of the Royal Academy in 1934.
Cowper began as a painter of romantic subject pictures, in the Pre-Raphaelite manner; he ended as a painter of pretty women in idealized environment.
There are many stories associated with Cowper, particularly relating to studies for his earlier Pre-Raphaelite paintings. An example of this was when he had a grave dug in his back garden, much to the horror of his neighbours, to help with the detail, for his graveyard scene in Hamlet.
Cowper's paintings retain their fascination for many people today, and are often seen as posters, and on calendars. In old age, the quality of the Cowper’s work is widely held to have declined, but he was true to the great artistic traditions to the last. There was though little of the traditional artist in Cowper’s appearance, as he is said to have worn the higher collars than any other man. Mr. Frank Cadogen Cowper has died at the age of 81.
