Notes
Eileen Cooper is a respected artist known for her strong and passionate commitment to figuration.
Studying first at Goldsmiths College (1971–1974) and then at the Royal College of Art (1974–1977) she went on to teach at a wide range of art schools including St Martin’s, the Royal College of Art, City & Guilds in London and latterly at the Royal Academy of Arts. In 2000 she was elected a Royal Academician. From 2010 to 2017 Cooper served as Keeper of the Royal Academy, one of only four officers selected from the 80 Royal Academicians, and with primary responsibility for the Royal Academy Schools, thereby becoming the first woman to be elected to this role since the RA began in 1768.
