Unicorn Publishing Group Art of Julian Cooper

The Art of Julian Cooper is a personal reflection on a life spent looking for places that carry a particular charge for the artist, finding them in some of the most inhospitable places on the planet. It illustrates that throughout his journeying and searching for a fitting way to paint the world, he has experienced the life-long power of one place - The English Lake District. The accompanying text gives a rare, authentic and accessible account of the circumstances behind the artists work and follows Coopers development as a painter born into an artistic dynasty, from art school in London to his move from abstraction towards figurative painting, and his return to Cumbria and beyond to depict some of the great mountains of the world.
