Austin Cooper was by chance of birth a Canadian but built his
career as a commercial artist in London. Art-educated in Wales and
Scotland, he became, in the inter-war years, one of the most
highly-respected poster artist in the United Kingdom - one of
L.N.E.R's 'elite' five, his name comparable to that of McKnight
Kauffer for work for London Transport, and a contributor to Post
Office posters for some ten years. He was to become the Principal
of the distinguished Reimann School for its short life in London
just prior to WWII. He then virtually disappeared from the
commercial art world, leading a reclusive life in a frustrated
attempt to build a belated career as a 'fine' artist. His 'Making a
Poster' book is as valid in its advice now as when it was written
in 1938.
