John Paul Cooper: Designer and Craftsman of the Arts and Crafts Movement

by N. Natasha Kuzmanovic

John Paul Cooper is a hitherto neglected, but important, figure of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Influenced by William Morris and somewhat overshadowed by him, today Cooper's work can be seen in major collections throughout the world and his pieces fetch increasingly high prices among the cognoscenti. This study, the result of research using archival material, reassesses Cooper's place within the Arts and Crafts Movement, and provides a full account of his life and work.

A wonderfully thorough examination of one Britain’s unsung heroes of the Arts & Crafts Movement! A three-part text that provides readers - both specialists and generalists alike - with a treasure trove of content on Cooper’s life, his stylistic maturity across mediums, and analysis of his contribution to the Arts & Crafts legacy since the movement’s wane in the 1920s and 1930s.
