Description
This introspective exhibition, marking Cecil Cooper’s 70th birthday, celebrates a stellar artistic career. In 1967, almost fifty years ago, Cooper’s first solo exhibition was held in Jamaica at the Gallery of the Contemporary Jamaican Artists’ Association. He was then a very recent graduate of the Jamaica School of Art where, from 1962 to 1966, he studied with some of Jamaica’s most illustrious artists, including Barrington Watson, Karl Parboosingh, Vernal Reuben and Milton Harley. He distinguished himself as the top student in the Painting Department.
